 Agalychnis lemur  xxx  Oedipina grandis

Summary:Between 2008 and 2010 we detected 53% of the Endangered and 56% of the Critically Endangered amphibian species that have previously been reported from the Cordillera Central of western Panama. We also found species that have not been detected in Panama for many years and report newly discovered populations. There is a need to create a new protected area in the Cerro Colorado area of the Serranía de Tabasará, where we found 15% of the Endangered and Critically Endangered amphibian species known to Panama.

 Eremias acutirostris habitat    Eremias acutirostris

Summary: During a field survey in the Sistan region of Iran in October 2011, habitat of Eremias acutirostris was surveyed and four specimens of the species were collected. We report a locality situated along the road from Zabol to Doost Mohammad, near the town of Bonjar. The fragile habitat, consist of immobile sand dunes, is situated in proximity to an industrial zone, placing this remnant population under threat of pollution and other anthropogenic edge effects. We call the Zabol Environmental Protection Agency to act and insure the species’ future in Iran.

   Eremias suphani

 

Summary: Iran is located in an area that is bordered by several mountains and contains herpetofaunal constituents from adjacent countries such as Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Turkey. We surveyed several border provinces of Iran to more completely understand the Iranian herpetofauna. During one survey in the northwestern part of Iran we found a species of the genus Eremias that can be added to Iran’s herpetofauna. Previously, the distribution of Eremias suphani was limited to the Van Lake in Turkey (type locality). We compared Iranian samples with E. suphani from Turkey using a molecular marker (Cytochrome b) and confirmed that this species is also present in Iran. The new record of this species is located on the road from Firoragh to Chaldoran in the west of the province of Azarbaijan, Iran.
