Abstract

Lepidophyma Duméril, 1851 is the most diverse genus among the nocturnal lizards, with 23 species distributed from the Atlantic and Pacific slopes of Mexico southeast into Panama. Currently, the available information on the ecology and distribution of these species is limited mainly due to their saxicolous habits. Here we present five new state records of Lepidophyma zongolicum from Atoyac, a locality in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. These new data expand the geographic range of this species by 48 km from its nearest previously known occurrence.

墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州 Lepidophyma zongolicum García-Vázquez, Canseco-Márquez & Aguilar-López, 2010 (Squamata, Xantusiidae) 的首次记录

鳞蜥(Lepidophyma duméril, 1851)是夜行蜥蜴中种类最丰富的属，共有23种，分布于墨西哥东南至巴拿马的大西洋和太平洋沿岸。目前，关于这些物种的生态和分布的信息有限，主要是由于它们的穴居习性。本文报道了来自墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州阿托亚克地区的五种新的州记录。这些新数据将该物种的地理范围从其最近的已知地点扩大了48公里。

期刊介绍： Check List is a peer-reviewed online journal, devoted to publishing biodiversity data related to species’ geographic distribution. Thus, our primary mission if to fill the so-called Wallacean shortfall (Lomolino 2004) and to improve our knowledge of how life is distributed on the planet in order to better preserve it. These data are essential for studies on biogeography and provide a baseline for the conservation of biodiversity. The first step to undertaking effective conservation action is to maintain records of the distribution of species. Therefore, the journal was created from the need publish basic data on species distribution of any taxon in a timely and open manner, which are often neglected by traditional journals. Check List is a bimonthly peer-reviewed online journal, and will consider for publication: -distribution summaries of a supraspecific taxon in a broad geographic area (e.g., hemisphere, country, biome), as a review of the distribution of a taxon in the given area. -annotated list of species, of a given taxon in a strict geographic area, with comments and illustrations on the identifications, based on original data. -notes on the geographic distribution, reporting new records of one or more species while providing a complete overview on the known distribution of the treated taxa. -book reviews on books related to biodiversity, biogeography, niche modeling, or any associated field that uses species distribution as its primary data source. -opinions on relevant subjects for the journal’s mission and scope
