Subject: Re: [Gecko] New Goniurosaurus!

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.
