Abstract

Small fossil amphibians and reptiles from the Late Miocene of the Keinar locality of Moldova are reviewed for the first time. The following taxa are described: Mioproteus caucasicus, Chelotriton sp., Latonia sp., Pelobates sp., Pelophylax sp., “Colubrinae” indet., Natrix sp., two Vipera spp. (“Vipera aspis complex” and “Oriental vipers complex”), and Squamata indet. Among them, Pelobates sp. exhibits the characters which occur in the Early–Late Miocene (presence of both pit-and-ridge and pustular sculptures of the frontoparietal bone) and in the Pliocene (short frontoparietal–squamosal contact) members of the genus; this combination is not observed in any other Pelobates species. The viperid snake of the “Vipera aspis complex” is recorded from Moldova for the first time.
摩尔多瓦 Keinar 地区晚中新世动物群回顾
首次对摩尔多瓦凯纳尔地区晚中新世的小型两栖类和爬行类化石进行了回顾。文中描述了以下类群:Mioproteus caucasicus、Clotriton sp.、Latonia sp.、Pelobates sp.、Pelophylax sp.、"Colubrinae "indet.、Natrix sp.、两种蝰蛇属("蝰蛇复合体 "和 "东方蝰蛇复合体"),以及 Squamata indet.。其中,Pelobates sp.具有早中新世-晚中新世(前顶骨有坑脊和脓疱状雕刻)和上新世(前顶骨-鳞片接触面短)成员的特征;这种组合在其他 Pelobates 种类中均未发现。摩尔多瓦首次记录到 "Vipera aspis complex "蝰蛇。

期刊介绍: Geobios publishes bimonthly in English original peer-reviewed articles of international interest in any area of paleontology, paleobiology, paleoecology, paleobiogeography, (bio)stratigraphy and biogeochemistry. All taxonomic groups are treated, including microfossils, invertebrates, plants, vertebrates and ichnofossils. Geobios welcomes descriptive papers based on original material (e.g. large Systematic Paleontology works), as well as more analytically and/or methodologically oriented papers, provided they offer strong and significant biochronological/biostratigraphical, paleobiogeographical, paleobiological and/or phylogenetic new insights and perspectices. A high priority level is given to synchronic and/or diachronic studies based on multi- or inter-disciplinary approaches mixing various fields of Earth and Life Sciences. Works based on extant data are also considered, provided they offer significant insights into geological-time studies.
