A new species of monadal coral snake of the genus Micrurus (Serpentes, Elapidae) from western Amazon.
We described a new species of monadal coral snake of the genus Micrurus from the region of Tabatinga and Leticia, along the boundaries of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. The new species can be distinguished from the other congeners by the combination of the following characters: absence of a pale nuchal collar; black cephalic-cap extending from rostral to firstdorsal scale and enclosing white tippe...
متن کاملMicrurus ibiboboca (Serpentes, Elapidae) is not a Guiana Shield Species
( ) Coral snakes (Micrurus) are a diverse group of Neotropical squamates. Similarities in morphology and coloration can make identification difficult, especially in areas of species sympatry. Species with triad-type coloration, approximately 30% of all Micrurus species, are among the most difficult to identify. Micrurus ibiboboca Merrem, 1820 is an east Brazilian species with triad-type colorat...
متن کاملEvaluation of sperm quality of Erythrolamprus poecilogyrus sublineatus (Cope, 1860) (Serpentes, Dipsadidae).
Erythrolamprus poecilogyrus sublineatus (Cope, 1860), is a species widely distributed in the Pampa Domain, occurring in Rio Grande do Sul, Argentina and Uruguay, mainlyin the pampa region. In the coastal region of southern Brazil this is serpent is considered one of the most abundant. The purpose of the present study is to describe the techniques of sperm evaluation in vitro for E. poecilogyrus...
متن کاملHerpetologists' League Phylogeny of South American Triad Coral Snakes (Elapidae: Micrurus) Based on Molecular Characters
We present new molecular data (mtDNA sequences and allozymes) for several species of Souith American "triad" coral snakes. We present a phylogenetic hypothesis for the group based on analysis of molecular characters using both maximum parsimony (MP) and maximu-m likelihood (ML) optimality criteria. Results from both methods are generally congruent and suggest a basal position for the morphologi...
متن کاملPhylogeography of the Central American lancehead Bothrops asper (SERPENTES: VIPERIDAE)
The uplift and final connection of the Central American land bridge is considered the major event that allowed biotic exchange between vertebrate lineages of northern and southern origin in the New World. However, given the complex tectonics that shaped Middle America, there is still substantial controversy over details of this geographical reconnection, and its role in determining biogeographi...
