Abstract
We here describe a new Caecilia from Parque Nacional Natural Yaigojé Apaporis, Taraira, Vaupés, Colombia, near the Brazilian border. Although this new species is only represented in collections by three specimens, it is recognizable from all other congeners by virtue of its head shape, its dentition, its counts of primary and secondary grooves, its oval dermal scales, and its small terminal shield. Although its phylogenetic relationships are unknown, it seems most similar to C. museugoeldi from French Guyana. Describimos una nueva Caecilia proveniente del Parque Nacional Natural Yaigojé Apaporis, Taraira, Vaupés, Colombia, en cercanías de la frontera brasilera. Si bien solo se conocen tres ejemplares de esta especie, esta es reconocible entre todos sus congéneres por la forma de su cabeza, su dentición, sus conteos de surcos primarios y secundarios, sus escamas dérmicas ovaladas y por su pequeño escudo terminal. Aunque sus relaciones filogenéticas se desconocen, esta resulta más similar a C. museugoeldi de Guyana Francesa.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
