Re: [gecko]Cyrtodactylus fans....

Hi Ron,

that sounds good. I would like to add one description of a new Uroplatus 
species. In the last german Magazine "Salamandra" Uroplatus pietschmanni 
was described. named after the famost german gecko (and especially 
Uroplatus) specialist Jürgen Pietschmann. he has done so much for the 
knowledge of Uroplatus-Breeding. he was the fist known person who bred U. 
guentheri with a lot of success.
This new species is well know as the "Spiny Uroplatus"
Best wishes

Boris Klusmeyer

Hey all of you Cyrtodactylus fans,
 Twelve new species were described last year, all from South East Asia, 
there
is now a total of 83 species (and 10 subspecies), Cyrtodactylus is almost
catching up to Sphaerodactylus for most species in a genus. The new 
species are;
Cyrtodactylus brevidactylus, C. slowinskii (named after Dr. Slowinskii who
died last year from a krait bite), C. annandalei (named after Dr. Annandale a
herpetologist from India in the 1800's), C. ayeyarwadyensis (named after the
Ayeyarwady river in Myanmar where it was discovered), C. gansi (named 
after Dr.
Carl Gans), C. wakeorum (named after the Wake's; salamander 
herpetologists), C.
russelli (named after Dr. Anthony Russell, the renowned "Gecko-ologist", C.
chrysopylos, C. aequalis, C. tigroides, C. chanhomeae and one other 
species that
I don't know the name of (but will soon). Supposedly every isolated hill
range in Burma (Myanmar) and Thailand has it's own species. Very nice!

Ron
