D.Maini?

 

[GeckPhotographer]

Not maini (which is Lucasium at the moment)

 

[RamsMice]

tyrannosaurus rex?


lol jokes

If I had pictures of an apparently alive T-rex you think I would be spending my weekend on a reptile forum?

I don't mind jokes or anything but if you would be so kind as to put a real guess up with them it would be appreciated.

Not maini (which is Lucasium at the moment)

Taxonomists Meh I'm sticking with Dip for now. Are there any other genus name changes in the latest Wilson/Swan?

 

[dihsmaj]

Is it a Diplodactylus or possibly, possibly a Strophurus?
Or Nephrurus laevissimus? Or deleani?
I bet I get all my guesses wrong

For geckos I do not think so, although the latest does include splitting the geckos into 3 families and places another section of legless lizards but mentions in the befornote of the chapter that they are now geckos.

For skins there have been a few changes Egernia is split into 4 Liopholis, Egernia, Lissolepis, and Bellatorias. I think some of the Carlia got moved out but I was not so familiar with their taxonomy. There was changes in Glaphyromorphus and Eremiascincus I believe. (I think some Glaphies became Eremiascincus.)

The only Rankinia is now diamensis the other got moved to Ctenophorus. I think thats about all but I have not even looked at the snakes.

Oh by the way this is from second to third so if you have first book there might be even more changes.

Personally I find it easier to go to AROD and look at the recent changes menu thingy even though it is not entirely complete. Easy than comparing book to book.

I earlier said it was a Diplodactylus.

 

[Smithers]

Thanks for the updates GP I have 1st edition. Ok I'll guess the newer genus

L.Polyophthalmus?

 

[GeckPhotographer]

It is polyopthalmus. But polyphthalmus is still Diplodactylus.

The genus got split not all changed.

The Lucasiums are the ones with the longer thinner tails, and the Diplo's shorter thicker tails.
