Keeping And First Breeding Record Of Bourret’S Box Turtle Cuora Galbinifrons Bourreti, Obst And Reimann, 1994, With Comments On Its Conservation Status, Edgar Lehr, Joachim Fiebig
Keeping And First Breeding Record Of Bourret’S Box Turtle Cuora Galbinifrons Bourreti, Obst And Reimann, 1994, With Comments On Its Conservation Status, Edgar Lehr, Joachim Fiebig
Edgar Lehr
A group of Bourret's box turtles were obtained from the animal trade in central Vietnam in 1993. Although eggs were recorded in captivity since 1994, successful breeding was first achieved in 1998. Three clutches each containing one egg were laid between March and June 1998 and one clutch of two eggs was laid in 1999. The eggs had an average length of 55.4 mm and an average width of 30.0 mm. At a temperature of 24-30 °C the eggs hatched after an incubation period of 85-117 days. One hatchling incubated constantly under 27.5 °C left the egg after 97 days …

Use Of Thermal Water By The Andean Toad Bufo Spinulosus, Edgar Lehr, Emilio Fuentes, Gunther Kohler
Use Of Thermal Water By The Andean Toad Bufo Spinulosus, Edgar Lehr, Emilio Fuentes, Gunther Kohler
Edgar Lehr
Tadpoles of the Andean toad Bufo spinulosus were found in warm water of a thermal spring in central Peru (Banos, 3460 m elev., Departamento Hmlnuco, Provincia Dos de Mayo). Adjacent water bodies of similar size but without connections to the thermal spring did not contain tadpoles. Water temperatures of the thermal and non-thermal water were measured and compared. 33,4 °C was the highest water temperature where a tadpole of Bufo spinulosus was observed.

A New Species Of Phrynopus From Peru (Amphibia, Anura, Leptodactylidae), Edgar Lehr, Gunther Kohler, Elias Ponce
Edgar Lehr
A new species of leptodactylid frog, Phrynopus horstpauli, is described from the eastern Andean slopes of central Peru (Departamento de Huanuco, Provincia de Ambo, Distrito de Conchamarca) between 3030 and 3430 m elevation. The new species is assigned to the Phrynopus Peruanus group. Phrynopus horstpauli occurs sympatrically with Gastrotheca Griswoldi and another undescribed species of Phrynopus.

(1) C. g. galbinifrons BOURRET, 1939, distributed in North Vietnam (Tonkin) and adjacent southern China, is characterized by its flat and elongated shell and a mainly or entirely black plastron. The carapace bears a wide, anteriorly forked dark brown median band and lacks a solid dark lateral band. The soft parts are sometimes intensely reddish coloured. (2) C. g. bourreti OBST & REIMANN, 1994, occurs in Central Vietnam (Annam, except the southernmost part), and the neighbouring regions of Laos and Cambodia. It is distinguished from the nominotypical subspecies by its more domed, rounder shell, a plastral pattern consisting of black …

Revision Of The Southeast Asian Leaf Turtle Genus Cyclemys Bell, 1834, With Description Of A New Species, Edgar Lehr, Uwe Fritz, Maren Gaulke
Revision Of The Southeast Asian Leaf Turtle Genus Cyclemys Bell, 1834, With Description Of A New Species, Edgar Lehr, Uwe Fritz, Maren Gaulke
Edgar Lehr
Within the genus Cyclemys, four species are recognised and diagnosed, based upon more than 200 specimens. One is described as a new species. For the other three species, the nomenclatural history is discussed and several lecto- or neotypes are designated. In addition, a key for all species is presented. Cyclemys dentata (GRAY, 1831) sensu stricto is characterised by a reddish, intensely striped head and neck pattern and a predominant or entirely yellow plastron with a short interfemora1 and a long interanal seam. It is distributed from Thailand over the Malay peninsula to Sumatra and Java. Its range includes Borneo and …
