Abstract

Abstract. We reassessed the type-series of Amphisbaena ibijara and Amphisbaena frontalis to evaluate the characters used to diagnose and distinguish them, and compared these data with additional specimens of A. ibijara. We found broadly overlapping ranges of the quantitative diagnostic characters, and no differences between the qualitative characters, that could support differences between A. frontalis and A. ibijara. Based on our morphological results, and the geographic proximity of the distribution ranges of both species, we consider A. ibijara as a junior synonym of A. frontalis. We provide updated data on intraspecific variation in the diagnostic characters of A. frontalis. Resumo. Nós reanalisamos as séries-tipo de Amphisbaena ibijara e Amphisbaena frontalis para avaliar os caracteres usados para diagnosticar e distinguir essas espécies, e nós comparamos estes dados com espécimes adicionais de A. ibijara. Nós encontramos ampla sobreposição entre os caracteres quantitativos diagnósticos, e nenhuma diferença entre os caracteres qualitativos que poderiam suportar diferenças entre A. frontalis e A. ibijara. Baseados nos nossos resultados morfológicos, e na proximidade geográfica da distribuição de ambas espécies, nós consideramos A. ibijara como sinônimo júnior de A. frontalis. Nós fornecemos também dados atualizados da variação intraespecífica dos caracteres diagnósticos de A. frontalis.

摘要我们重新评估了纳米比亚两栖动物和额两栖动物的类型系列，以评估用于诊断和区分它们的特征，并将这些数据与纳米比亚两栖动物的其他标本进行了比较。我们发现，数量诊断特征的范围广泛重叠，定性特征之间没有差异，这可能支持额颞叶A.frontalis和纳米比亚A.ibijara之间的差异。根据我们的形态学结果，以及两个物种分布范围的地理接近性，我们认为A.ibijara是A.frontalis的初级同义词。我们提供了最新的数据，在诊断特征方面的种内变异额A.frontalis。总结我们重新分析了纳米比亚两栖动物和额两栖动物的类型系列，以评估用于诊断和区分这些物种的特征，并将这些数据与纳米比亚两栖动物的其他标本进行了比较。我们发现数量诊断特征之间有很大的重叠，而定性特征之间没有差异，这可以支持A.frontalis和A.ibijara之间的差异。根据我们的形态学结果，以及这两个物种分布的地理接近性，我们认为A.ibijara是A.frontalis的初级同义词。我们还提供了额颞骨诊断特征种内变异的最新数据。

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.
