The First Gran Chaco Expedition Of The Museum Für Tierkunde Dresden: Records Of Amphibians, Reptiles And Mammals From The Dry Chaco Of Paraguay., Edgar Lehr, Thomas Ziegler, Jakob Unger, Alfred Feiler
Edgar Lehr
During a first expedition of the Museum fur Tierkunde Dresden to the Dry Chaco of Paraguay a total of 22 amphibian, 46 reptile and 41 mammal species were recorded, of which an annotated list is presented. Of these, six amphibian, four reptile, and five mammal species are exclusively representatives of the Gran Chaco region. In total, 24 taxa of the recorded species are listed in current CITES Appendices I and II. Beside the distributional records given for each species, the microteiid lizard Gymnophthalmus rubricauda could be recorded for Paraguay for the first time (ZIEGLER et al. 2002a). In addition, the …

A New Species Of Phrynopus (Amphibia, Anura, Leptodactylidae) From The Cordillera De Carpish (Departamento De Huánuco, Peru), Edgar Lehr, Daniel Rodriguez, Jesus Cordova
Edgar Lehr
A new medium-sized species of leptodactylid frog, genus Phrynopus is described from the eastern Andean slopes of central Peru (Departamento de Huanuco, Cordillera de Carpish, 2960m above sea level). The new species differs from all described species of the genus by having long and slim extremities, dorsum and ventrum dark grey, throat with a large yellowish mustard blotch, each side of midventer with a large yellowish mustard rectangular blotch, and toes and fingers partly creamy yellow. The new species is documented by a single female specimen which did not show saltatory locomotion. In the Cordillera de Carpish, the new species …

The Herpetofauna Of Central Peru Along A Transect From The Pacific Coast To The High Andes (Amphibia Et Reptilia), Edgar Lehr, Gunther Kohler, Bruno Street
Edgar Lehr
The transect runs along the 10th Latitude of Peru with an extension of 110 airline km (west-east) and 50 airline km (north-south), respectively the Latitude being the middle of the transect. From west to east the transect passes through the coastal desert, the mountain steppe, and the puna. During approximately four months of fieldwork 18 localities in the Departamento Ancash were visited within the transect. 29 species (amphibians: 8, reptiles: 21) were recorded, belonging to 10 families (amphibians: 4, reptiles: 6) and 19 genera (amphibians: 6, reptiles: 13). Two species of reptiles were new to science and another two species …

The snake fanna of Pozuzo (Peru) (Reptilia: Serpentes). - Snakes occurring in Pozuzo (823 m above sea level, Departamento Pasco, Peru) are mentioned, including material of the herpetological collection of the health station of Pozuzo being collected between 1993 and 1997, and material obtained by own fieldwork. The snake fauna of Pozuzo comprehends 23 species. Intensive agriculture and cattle breeding threatens the snake fauna.

Morphological And Ecological Remarks On Phrynopus Kauneorum (Amphibia, Anura, Leptodactylidae), Edgar Lehr, Cesar Aguilar, Jesus Cordova
Edgar Lehr
Phrynopus kauneorum was described as a medium-sized species with snout-vent length up to 32.3mm in females. Further adult female specimens of P. kauneorum, collected near the type locality (palma Pampa, Provincia Pachitea, Departamento Huanuco, Peru) show that it is a large species with a snout-vent length up to 56.4mm and the largest known species of the genus. P. kauneorum has an altitudinal distribution of 2 735-3 380m and is known from two localities in the yungas ecoregion of the eastern Andes of Peru. One adult female contained 56 eggs with an average diameter of 3.31±0.35mm (n=10). Osteological data of the …
