Paniegekko Bauer, Jackman, Sadlier & Whitaker
No full textPaniegekko Bauer, Jackman, Sadlier & Whitaker gen. nov. Content. Paniegekko madjo (Bauer, Jones & Sadlier, 2000) (Fig. 3 D) Type species. Bavayia madjo Bauer, Jones & Sadlier, 2000, here designated. Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Panié massif, the dominant landform of northeastern New Caledonia, and gekko, from the Malay ‘gekoq’, onomatopoeia of the call of the species Gekko gecko and the common name to all limbed gekkotans. A Sri Lankan origin for the word gekko, derived from the Sinhalese word ‘gego’, is also possible (de Silva & Bauer 2008). The name is masculine and should be pronounced “Pa-nē-āgekko.” The two known localities for this monotypic genus are Mt. Ignambi and Mt. Panié, both part of the Panié massif. Definition and Diagnosis. Paniegekko may be distinguished from all other New Caledonian diplodactylid geckos by the following combination of character states: body size moderate (to 75mm SVL), head large, tail slender and elongate (> 110 % SVL); dorsal scalation granular, homogeneous; body without extensive skin webs or flaps; expanded subdigital lamellae under all toes; subdigital lamellae of digits II–V of manus and pes unpaired basally and divided distally; claw of digit I of manus and pes positioned lateral to a single, undivided apical lamella; precloacal pores in two or more rows in males, longest row extending well onto thighs (50 or more pores total); dorsal coloration pattern brown with transverse chevrons; venter dull grayish, never yellow. Distribution. Paniegekko is known only from Mt. Ignambi and Mt. Panié in northeastern New Caledonia. Remarks. See Bauer and Sadlier (2000) for more information on P. m a d j o. Erection of a new genus for Bavayia madjo was necessitated to maintain the monophyly of Bavayia (see above).Published as part of Bauer, Aaron M., Jackman, Todd R., Sadlier, Ross A. & Whitaker, Anthony H., 2012, Revision of the giant geckos of New Caledonia (Reptilia: Diplodactylidae: Rhacodactylus), pp. 1-52 in Zootaxa 3404 on page 16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21173

Type species. Bavayia validiclavis Sadlier, 1989 by original designation. Diagnosis. Dierogekko may be distinguished from all other New Caledonian diplodactylid geckos by the following combination of character states: body size very small (<46 mm SVL); head small; tail 92–120 % of SVL; dorsal scalation granular, homogeneous; body without extensive skin webs or flaps; expanded subdigital lamellae under all toes; lamellae under penultimate phalanx of digits II–V of manus and pes paired or single; claw of digit I of manus and pes in a groove in the apical lamella between a larger medial scansor and a smaller lateral scansor; precloacal pores in one or two rows in males (10–20 pores in total), not extending onto thighs; dorsal pattern of longitudinal lines or series of spots or patternless, never with transverse markings; venter usually cream to light brown, sometimes pale yellow. Distribution. Dierogekko is restricted to northern New Caledonia, with populations extending up the west coast from the Massif de Koniambo to Poum and on the Panié massif (Mt. Mandjélia and Mt. Panié) on the east coast. It is also known from the northern islands of Île Yandé and Île Baaba, and on Île Art and Île Pott in the Îles Belep. It is likely that its distribution is more continuous across this region than existing data show. Remarks. See Bauer and Sadlier (2000) and Bauer et al. (2006 b) for detailed information on members of this genus. Additional field work in northern New Caledonia has revealed a new species of Dierogekko on Île Baaba and hitherto unexpected genetic variation in D. koniambo (Skipwith et al. submitted).Published as part of Bauer, Aaron M., Jackman, Todd R., Sadlier, Ross A. & Whitaker, Anthony H., 2012, Revision of the giant geckos of New Caledonia (Reptilia: Diplodactylidae: Rhacodactylus), pp. 1-52 in Zootaxa 3404 on page 15, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21173
Afroedura namaquensis Jacobsen, Kuhn, Jackman & Bauer, 2014, stat. nov.
No full textA. namaquensis stat. nov. (FitzSimons, 1938) Distribution. Known from scattered localities in the Succulent Karoo Biome in the Little Namaqualand region of the Northern Cape Province (Bauer 2014 a) (Fig. 4). Remarks. Haacke (1965), in describing A. africana tirasensis considered A. namaquensis as a subspecies of A. africana, and it has maintained this rank since (Mertens 1971; Branch 1981, 1988, 1998; Onderstall 1984; Bauer 2014 a), although chiefly because this poorly known taxon has not been reviewed subsequently. Under modern species concepts, the differences between the supposed subspecies of A. africana— including precloacal pore counts, presence of internasal granules, gular scale counts, and color pattern (Haacke 1965) would generally be accepted as evidence of specific distinctness, especially in light of the large disjunctions between the forms and their likely low vagility (Mouton & Mostert 1985; Jacobsen 1997). On this basis we here recognize this taxon at the rank of full species.Published as part of Jacobsen, Niels H.

Mniarogekko Bauer, Whitaker, Sadlier & Jackman, sp. nov.
No full textMniarogekko Bauer, Whitaker, Sadlier & Jackman gen. nov. Content. Mniarogekko chahoua (Bavay 1869), M. jalu sp. nov. Bauer, Whitaker, Sadlier & Jackman, 2012 (Fig. 3 H; see below for description). Type species. Platydactylus chahoua Bavay, 1869, here designated. Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Greek word mniaros, meaning mossy and gekko, from the Malay ‘gekoq’, onomatopoeia of the call of the species Gekko gecko and the common name to all limbed gekkotans. A Sri Lankan origin for the word gekko, derived from the Sinhalese word ‘gego’, is also possible (de Silva & Bauer, 2008). The name is masculine and should be pronounced “Nē-aro-gekko.” It refers to the mossy or lichenous markings that are common on members of this genus. The vernacular names “New Caledonian mossy gecko ” and “Mossy prehensile-tailed gecko ” are in wide use in the herpetocultural literature for M. chahoua (de Vo s j o l i et al. 2003). Definition and Diagnosis. Mniarogekko may be distinguished from all other New Caledonian diplodactylid geckos by the following combination of character states: body large (to 147 mm SVL); head moderately-sized; tail approximately equal to SVL; dorsal scalation granular, homogeneous; loose folds of skin present on margins of mandible and along ventrolateral border of body; expanded undivided subdigital lamellae under all toes; webbing between digits relatively extensive; claw of digit I of manus and pes positioned lateral to a single, undivided apical lamella; precloacal pores in three or four rows in males, anterior two rows extending onto base of thighs (70–120 pores in total); dorsal color pattern highly variable but consisting of a gray, olive, brown, reddish or orangey background usually with dark middorsal blotches and/or transverse markings, with one or more patches of ashy to lichenous green patches; venter cream to greenish. Distribution. Mniarogekko occurs broadly on the Grande Terre. Seipp and Henkel (2000, 2011) believed that M. chahoua occurred island-wide, but the number of verified localities is limited and there may be large gaps (Langner 2009). Nearly all known locality records from the Grande Terre are from low elevation valleys. The genus also is present on the Îles Belep and has been recorded from unstated localities on the Île des Pins (Seipp & Klemmer 1994; Seipp & Obst 1994; de Vosjoli 1995; de Vosjoli & Fast 1995; Seipp & Henkel 2000, 2011). Remarks. See below for the description of a new species of Mniarogekko.Published as part of Bauer, Aaron M., Jackman, Todd R., Sadlier, Ross A. & Whitaker, Anthony H., 2012, Revision of the giant geckos of New Caledonia (Reptilia: Diplodactylidae: Rhacodactylus), pp. 1-52 in Zootaxa 3404 on pages 17-18, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21173

Mniarogekko Bauer, Jackman, Sadlier & Whitaker, 2012, gen. nov.
No full textMniarogekko gen. nov. Mniarogekko chahoua — No subspecies have been described and no synonyms exist for Mniarogekko chahoua, nor have previous authors discussed intraspecific variation in the context of possible taxonomic significance. However, our results reveal relatively large intraspecific divergence within this taxon (Figs. 1–2). Seipp and Henkel (2000) first noted that M. chahoua occurred in far northern New Caledonia, northeast of Koumac, and speculated that the species might be distributed island-wide. Specimens from this same population, at Rivière Néhoué, were reported on extensively by Langner (2009). Mniarogekko chahoua specimens from recently discovered northern populations on Île Art in the Belep group and at Vallée Poupoule, Dôme de Tiébaghi, and Rivière Néhoué in the far northwest of the Grande Terre (Whitaker et al. 2004; Bauer et al. 2006 b) are morphologically similar to one another but 7.8 % divergent with respect to more southern Grande Terre specimens from Sarraméa and the Vallée d’Amoa. Specimens from these latter two localities are likewise highly genetically divergent from one another, but existing sample sizes are small and morphological differences between them have not yet been identified. All northern samples come from ultramafic areas, whereas those from the east-central and more southern Grande Terre populations are from low elevation (vallicole) habitats on non-ultramafic substrates (Fig. 17). Bauer (1985) reviewed M. chahoua, then known from very few specimens, and designated a specimen from the Vallée d’Amoa as the neotype (many captive M. chahoua supposedly derive from Île des Pins stock and these are stated by herpetoculturalists to differ from Grande Terre M. chahoua; however, we have not encountered Mniarogekko on the Île des Pins and have not examined museum specimens from this locality, therefore, we are unable to evaluate their taxonomic status). We believe that genetic and morphological differences warrant the description of a second chahoua -like species to accommodate the northern populations sampled here.
