A New Species

Didymoplexiella laosensis is described as a new species from the limestone mountains of Vang Vieng District in central Laos. A detailed description, colour plate, line drawings and conservation assessment are provided, together with morphological comparisons with three allied species in tropical Asia, namely, D. ornata, D. siamensis and D. trichechus. With the leasing of its limestone habitat to a mining company for cement production, the threat to D. laosensis is already evident.

Taxonomic Categories

The sequences of skeletal disarticulation in a broad range of African mammals in a tropical savanna environment suggest that in general the process is very consistent. There is some variation among species, but this cannot yet be convincingly related to higher taxonomic categories or to body size. Disarticulation begins shortly after death, proceeds more or less continuously, and is almost complete after 5 yr. Because of the overall predictability of disarticulation, the stage of disarticulation reached by comparable fossil skeletons provides useful information about their taphonomic history prior to burial.
