摘要

摘要Gekko（Rhacogekko）sorok是一种小型壁虎，于2008年根据婆罗洲的一个标本进行了描述。我们在马来西亚婆罗洲兰比尔山国家公园重新发现了该物种的多个标本。这些标本是该物种的第二个记录，也是砂拉越州的第一个记录。我们描述了这些标本，并验证了该物种的分类地位，直到最近，该物种以前被称为卢佩龙，现在被归入Gekko属（Rhacogekko）。分子系统发育分析表明，G.sorok嵌套在一个包含狭义卢佩龙的分支中，并被强烈支持为L.joloensis的姐妹谱系。我们暂时建议不要将该物种视为Gekko（Rhacogekko）sorok，而是将其视为Luperosaurus sorok。我们还评论了这种稀有物种的自然历史，并认为它是一种高树冠的居民。

Rediscovery of Luperosaurus sorok Das, Lakim, and Kandaung, 2008 (Squamata, Gekkonidae) With Notes on Its Taxonomy and Natural History

Abstract. Gekko (Rhacogekko) sorok is a small gecko species that was described in 2008 based on a single specimen from Borneo. We rediscovered multiple specimens of this species in the Lambir Hills National Park, Malaysian Borneo. The specimens constitute the second record of the species and the first record from Sarawak State. We describe the specimens and validate the taxonomic status of the species, which was formerly treated as Luperosaurus until recently and is now placed within the genus Gekko (Rhacogekko). Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that G. sorok is nested within a clade that includes Luperosaurus sensu stricto and is strongly supported as the sister lineage to L. joloensis. We tentatively propose that this species not be treated as Gekko (Rhacogekko) sorok, but rather as Luperosaurus sorok. We also comment on the natural history of this rare species and suggest that it is a high canopy dweller.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Herpetology accepts manuscripts on all aspects on the biology of amphibians and reptiles including their behavior, conservation, ecology, morphology, physiology, and systematics, as well as herpetological education. We encourage authors to submit manuscripts that are data-driven and rigorous tests of hypotheses, or provide thorough descriptions of novel taxa (living or fossil). Topics may address theoretical issues in a thoughtful, quantitative way. Reviews and policy papers that provide new insight on the herpetological sciences are also welcome, but they must be more than simple literature reviews. These papers must have a central focus that propose a new argument for understanding a concept or a new approach for answering a question or solving a problem. Focus sections that combine papers on related topics are normally determined by the Editors. Publication in the Long-Term Perspectives section is by invitation only. Papers on captive breeding, new techniques or sampling methods, anecdotal or isolated natural history observations, geographic range extensions, and essays should be submitted to our sister journal, Herpetological Review.
