Abstract

The genus Anguis is known to be mainly continental in the Mediterranean area, and accordingly it has never been recorded in Western Mediterranean islands. Here we report for the first time the presence of the slow worm in a Western Mediterranean island, the Ile Sainte-Marguerite from Lerins archipelago (southeastern France). The molecular analysis of ND2 and PRLR genes assigned the specimens to A. veronensis Pollini, 1818 and showed that they are genetically related to the mainland population from Les Mayons, in mainland France.

在地中海西部岛屿发现意大利慢虫(Anguis veronensis Pollini, 1818)种群，经遗传分析证实

据了解，安圭斯属主要生活在地中海地区的大陆上，因此在西地中海岛屿上从未有过记录。在这里，我们首次报道了地中海西部岛屿——勒林群岛(法国东南部)的圣玛格丽特岛(Ile Sainte-Marguerite)上存在这种慢蠕虫。ND2和PRLR基因的分子分析表明，这些标本属于A. veronensis Pollini, 1818，与来自法国大陆Les Mayons的大陆种群有亲缘关系。

期刊介绍： Acta Herpetologica, a journal open to academics all over the world, offers itself as a new site for the presentation and discussion of the most recent results in the field of research on Amphibians and Reptiles, both living and extinct. The official journal of the Societas Herpetologica Italica (S.H.I.), Acta Herpetologica publishes original works – extended articles, short notes and book reviews – mostly in English, dealing with the biology and diversity of Amphibians and Reptiles.
