Voucher Specimens

Two new species of the gekkonid lizard genus Cyrtodactylus Gray, 1827 are described on the basis of voucher specimens collected in isolated mountains separated from the Truong Son Mountain Range, southern Vietnam. Both species were collected from shallow caves, as have been many of the recently described Cyrtodactylus from across Southeast Asia. Both species, C. takouensis sp. nov. from Ta Kou Nature Reserve, Binh Thuan Province and C. huynhi sp. nov. from Chua Chan Mountain, Dong Nai Province, are characterized by a small number of enlarged femoral scales separated from the precloacal scales by a large diastema. They may be distinguished from one another and from all other congeners by differences in rows of tubercles and ventral scales, subcaudal scalation and dorsal color pattern. These new taxa bring the number of currently recognized Cyrtodactylus species in Vietnam to twelve.

Two New Species

We describe two new species of green pitviper from Southeast Asia that are morphologically similar to Cryptelytrops macrops, but can be distinguished from that species by genetic means, multivariate analysis of morphology and some aspects of coloration. Cryptelytrops cardamomensis sp. nov., is described from southeastern Thailand and the Cardamom Mountains of southwestern Cambodia. Cryptelytrops rubeus sp. nov. has been recorded from southern Vietnam and eastern Cambodia. These species have previously been confused with C. macrops, hence we also present here a redescription of this species, whose range is now restricted to Thailand, southern and central Laos, and northeastern Cambodia. All three species are present in Cambodia, but have disjunct ranges corresponding to three separate highland regions in southwestern (Cardamom Mountains), northeastern (western edge of the Kontum Plateau) and eastern (low elevation hills on the western edge of the Langbian Plateau) Cambodia for C. cardamomensis, C. macrops and C. rubeus respectively. However, there is still considerable morphological variation between geographically separated populations of C. macrops s.s., and greater sampling in southern and northern Thailand in particular may be required before the species diversity of this group is fully clarified.

Dorsal Tubercle

We describe two new species of the genus Cyrtodactylus on the basis of a new reptile collection from the limestone karst forest of Hoa Binh Province, northwestern Vietnam. Cyrtodactylus otai sp. nov. from Hang Kia—Pa Co Nature Reserve and Cyrtodactylus bobrovi sp. nov. from Ngoc Son—Ngo Luong Nature Reserve can be distinguished from each other and from their congeners by their genetic distinction and morphological differences in number of precloacal pores, femoral scales, ventral scales, lamellae, subcaudals and dorsal tubercle arrangement, as well as in size and color pattern. In phylogenetic analyses, both new species are nested in a clade containing taxa from northwestern and northcentral Vietnam and northern Laos, i.e., C. bichnganae and C. cf. martini from northwestern Vietnam, C. puhuensis from northcentral Vietnam, and C. spelaeus, C. vilaphongi, and C. wayakonei from northern Laos.

We describe two new species of the genus Hemiphyllodactylus on the basis of a new collection of geckos from limestone karst forest of Hoa Binh Province, northwestern Vietnam. Hemiphyllodactylus bonkowskii sp. nov. from Hang Kia—Pa Co Nature Reserve and Hemiphyllodactylus ngocsonensis sp. nov. from Ngoc Son—Ngo Luong Nature Reserve can be distinguished from each other and from their congeners by genetic distinction and morphological differences in circumnasal scales, chin scales, precloacal and femoral pores, cloacal spurs, dorsal scales, ventral scales, digital lamellae formula, and color pattern. In phylogenetic analyses, both new species are nested in a clade that includes H. dushanensis, H. flaviventris, H. hongkongensis, H. huishuiensis, H. kiziriani, H. serpispecus, and H. zugi. In terms of pairwise genetic distance, the two new species are at least 7.5%–8.5% divergent from other described species based on a fragment of the ND2 gene.

Two New Species

AbstractTwo new species of oribatid mites, Suctobelbella (Ussuribata) phylliformis sp. n. (Suctobelbidae) and Neoribates (Neoribates) paratuberculatus sp. n. (Parakalummidae), are described from ferralitic soil of polydominant forest in Dong Nai Culture and Nature Reserve, southern Vietnam. Suctobelbella (Ussuribata) phylliformis sp. n. is similar morphologically to S. (U.) separata Mahunka, 2001, however, the new species differs from the latter by the number of genital and adanal setae, the morphology of the knob-like tubercle and the number of lateral prodorsal teeth. Neoribates (Neoribates) paratuberculatus sp. n. is similar morphologically to N. (N.) tuberculatus Willmann, 1956, however, the new species differs from the latter by the smaller body size, density of tubercles on pteromorphs and the morphology of bothridial setae. The validity of Suctobelbella (Ussuribata) is discussed; an identification key to all species of this subgenus is given.

Nanling National Nature Reserve is the biggest natural reserve in Guangdong Province. It is located on the south side of the Nanling middle mountain range, bordering on Hunan Province. During Oct. 28–Nov. 2, 2018, a survey was carried out to investigate the fauna of phytoseiid mites in Nanling National Nature Reserve. A total of 17 species in eight genera and two subfamilies was recorded, including two new species Transeius conyzoides Fang & Wu sp. nov. and Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) huangjiaensis Fang & Wu sp. nov. A checklist of all species is presented in this paper, and the two new species are described and illustrated.

Oribatid mite fauna of Vietnam is most studied among countries of Continental Southeast Asia but due to the brief history of detailed research, discoveries of new species are expected. Descriptions of two new species of oribatid mites (Oribatida) of the family Galumnidae—Flagellozetes (Cosmogalumna) sacculus sp. nov. and F. (C.) lineatus sp. nov.—are presented based on specimens collected from rainforest soil of Bi Dup—Nui Ba National Park (southern Vietnam). F. (C.) sacculus sp. nov. differs from other species by the presence of saccules and rare diamond-shaped granules on pteromorphs. F. (C.) lineatus sp. nov. differs from F. (C.) ekaterinae (Ermilov & Friedrich, 2016) and F. (C.) dongnaiensis (Ermilov & Anichkin, 2013) by the presence of striate pteromorph, genital and anal plates, median pore, and centrodorsal part of notogaster ornamentation represented by neural ridges band.

In this paper we describe and illustrate two new species, Cladopus yinggelingensis and Terniopsis daoyinensis, both from the Yinggeling National Nature Reserve, Hainan, China. Morphologically, Cladopus yinggelingensis is similar to C. doianus, and Terniopsis daoyinensis is similar to T. ubonensis. For the new taxa, information on its geographic range, habitat, and morphological differences between their known congeneric species are presented.

Abstract We describe two new species of the freshwater-crab genus Demanietta  Bott, 1966 from Tanintharyi (Tenasserim) division, southern Myanmar (Burma), Demanietta liui  sp. nov. and Demanietta lenya  sp. nov.  Demanietta liui  sp. nov. is morphologically most similar to D. thagatensis  Rathbun, 1904 and D. khirikhan  Yeo, Naiyanetr & Ng, 1999; D. lenya  sp. nov. appears close to D. manii  Rathbun, 1904, D. merguensis  Bott, 1966, and D. nakhonsi  Yeo, Naiyanetr & Ng, 1999. The two new species are easily distinguished from their most similar congeners in the shape of the external orbital tooth, epibranchial tooth, and male first gonopod. Molecular analysis based on partial mitochondrial 16S rDNA also supports the systematic position of the new taxa.

The Way

The identity of the poorly known bagrid catfish Pseudomystus moeschii (Boulenger, 1890) is clarified and the species redescribed. Two new species of closely related bagrid catfishes are also described: Pseudomystus carnosus from the Way Seputih River drainage in the province of Lampung in the southern tip of Sumatra, and P. fumosus from the Pahang River drainage in eastern Peninsular Malaysia. Pseudomystus carnosus, P. fumosus and P. moeschii can be distinguished from congeners in having an enlarged posterior process of the post-temporal, presence of long hair-like epithelial projections on the skin and long tubular extensions of the sensory pores. Pseudomystus carnosus differs from the other two species in having a pointed (vs. rounded) tip of the nuchal shield, while P. fumosus differs from the other two species in having very well developed procurrent caudal rays which are sinuously curved along the anterior edges (vs. less developed procurrent caudal rays that slope evenly along the edges). A lectotype is designated for P. moeschii.
