摘要

摘要/ Abstract摘要:本文描述了来自印度半岛泰米尔纳德邦Gingee Hills的两个南亚线虫新种，它们属于mysoriensis + adii分支。除了6.7 - 20.8%未校正的ND2序列差异外，这两个新种可以很容易地与其他8个已描述的mysoriensis + adii分支成员区分，包括它们的背侧气孔、雄性股孔和前腔孔的结构、一些分生特征和颜色的细微差异。这两个物种代表了不同的生态形态，一个是更胖的，微栖息地的通才，另一个是更苗条的，细长的岩石专家。在花岗岩巨石栖息地和热带干常绿森林中发现的两个新物种表明了这些地区对生物多样性的重要性。印度半岛南部类似的岩石栖息地很可能会有更多未被描述的物种。

Two new species of South Asian Cnemaspis Strauch, 1887 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from the Gingee Hills, Tamil Nadu, India

Abstract We describe two new small-bodied, sympatric species of south Asian Cnemaspis belonging to the mysoriensis + adii clade from the Gingee Hills in Tamil Nadu, peninsular India. The two new species can be easily distinguished from the other eight described members of the mysoriensis + adii clade by their dorsal pholidosis, the configuration of femoral and precloacal pores in males, a number of meristic characters and subtle differences in colouration, beside 6.7–20.8 % uncorrected pairwise ND2 sequence divergence. The two species represent different ecomorphs, one a stouter, microhabitat generalist and the other a more slender, elongate rock specialist. The discovery of two new species from granite boulder habitats and Tropical Dry Evergreen Forests is indicative of the importance of these areas for biodiversity. It is likely that similar rocky habitats across southern peninsular India will harbour many more undescribed species.
