Abstract

Abstract A comprehensive survey of the Cape Fold Mountains, South Africa, was undertaken for moss frogs of the genus Arthroleptella. Advertisement calls were recorded and voucher specimens collected for all populations encountered. A molecular phylogeny was constructed for the entire genus using two mitochondrial and one nuclear marker. Standard morphological measurements were made and salient morphological characters described. Analysis of these data revealed the presence of three undescribed species: two that were previously obscured under Arthroleptella bicolor and one obscured under A. landdrosia are described herein. The advertisement calls of the three new species are described and contrasted with the calls of other Arthroleptella species. Their distribution is described and spatial extent of occurrence quantified along with a brief discussion of conservation status for each species.

休伊特节肢动物三新种，1926(无尾目:大头虱科)，南非福尔德角山

摘要对南非福尔德角山脉的节肢动物属苔藓蛙进行了全面调查。记录了广告电话，并收集了遇到的所有人群的优惠券样本。利用两个线粒体和一个核标记构建了整个属的分子系统发育。进行了标准形态学测量，并描述了显著的形态学特征。对这些数据的分析揭示了三个未描述的物种的存在：两个以前在双色节翅目下被遮蔽，一个在兰德龙下被遮蔽。对这三个新种的广告叫声进行了描述，并与其他节肢动物的叫声进行了对比。描述了它们的分布，量化了它们的发生空间范围，并简要讨论了每个物种的保护状况。ZooBank--龙舌兰：urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:341BABC2-63A8-4C60-A306-D232E92ECE69龙舌兰atermina:urn:lsid:zooback.org:act:AC23D804-3075-40DB-9852-624C32A51547科格尔伯格节叶兰：urn:sid:zoebank.org:aact:AA573B06-BA81-4B84-B436-5F5CCDF1D892。

期刊介绍： African Journal of Herpetology (AJH) serves as an outlet for original research on the biology of African amphibians and reptiles. AJH is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes original articles and reviews from diverse fields and disciplines, such as conservation, phylogenetics, evolution, systematics, performance, physiology, ecology, behavioural ecology, ethology, and morphology. The Journal publishes two issues a year. There are no page charges .
