Abstract

New locality records and a range extension of the Javan endemic Pearly Tree Frog, Nyctixalus margaritifer Boulenger, 1882 are reported from Central Java and East Java. Our new data include the easternmost record in Java, a record from the eastern edge of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, which is approximately 142 km west of the species’ type locality in Gunung Willis in East Java. This tree-frog species inhabits undisturbed rainforest with a dense canopy and vegetation at elevations up to 1,200 m a.s.l. Based on a morphometric analysis of newly collected specimens, we found observable differences in several morphological characters. However, more specimens are needed to confirm the taxonomic status of the rare, endemic, and poorly known N. margaritifer.

爪哇特有种梨树蛙 Nyctixalus margaritifer Boulenger, 1882 (Anura, Rhacophoridae) 的新数据和最东部记录

中爪哇和东爪哇报道了爪哇特有的珍珠树蛙Nyctixalus margaritifer Boulenger, 1882的新的地方记录和范围扩展。我们的新数据包括爪哇最东端的记录，这是一个来自Bromo Tengger sememeru国家公园东部边缘的记录，该记录位于东爪哇Gunung Willis物种类型地点以西约142公里。这种树蛙生活在海拔高达1200米的原始雨林中，有茂密的树冠和植被。基于对新采集标本的形态计量学分析，我们发现了几种形态特征的明显差异。然而，需要更多的标本来确定这种罕见的、地方性的和鲜为人知的玛格丽特草的分类地位。

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
