Taxonavigation

Genus: Goniurosaurus

Name

Goniurosaurus yingdeensis Wang, Yang & Cui, 2010 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Type material

Holotype.SYS r000504, adult male, collected from Guoshanyao Village, Yingde City, Guangdong Province, China. Paratypes. Five specimens from the same locality as holotype. Three adult males SYS r000501–0503, an adult female SYS r000535 and a juvenile female SYS r000536.

Additional specimens

Four adult males (SYS r000788, SYS r000815, SYS r001493, SYS r002115); two adult females (SYS r001271–1272), a subadult female (SYS r000536) and a juvenile female (SYS r000552). All specimens collected from the Shimentai National Nature Reserve.

Variation

Overall morphology, coloration, and scalation data of the newly discovered populations of G. yingdeensis are in general agreement with the description of the holotype by Wang et al. (2010). Males have 10–13 distinct precloacal pores, whereas precloacal pores are present but indistinct in two adult females (SYS r000535, SYS r001652) and a subadult female (SYS r000536), absent in another two adult females (SYS r001271, SYS r001272); internasal usually numbering two or three, but single in the two females (SYS r001271, SYS r001652). Additional variation in scale counts and measurements are shown in Table 6. For female precloacal pores see Fig. 6.
