The new Goniurosaurus was published in the most recent Journal of Herpetology. Grismer, L. L., S. Haitao, N. L. Orlov and N. B. Ananjeva. 2002. A new species of Goniurosaurus (Squamata: Eublepharidae) from Hainan Island, China. Journal of Herpetology, 36(2): 217-224. The paper states that it is most closely related to G. araneus and luii but differs mainly in size and internal skeletal features. There are color pictures and the adults look similar to Coleonyx switaki. The authors state that it only exists in the mountains of the Bawangling Nature Reserve in southwestern Hainan Island. They also think that the Goniurosaurus luii from the island of Hainan and the same species from the China mainalnd may actually be different species too. So there may be another new species of Goniurosaurus on the way. ######################################################################## ### THE GLOBAL GECKO ASSOCIATION LISTSERV WebSite: www.gekkota.com Archive: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ The GGA takes no responsibility for the contents of these postings. ######################################################################## ###
