摘要
最近对喜马拉雅懒蟾蜍属(Scutiger Theobald,1868 年)进行的系统发育研究发现,存在着基因上差异很大的世系。在考虑了分子和形态学数据的基础上,根据博物馆材料对 S.nepalensis sensu lato 的分类进行了重新评估。结果有力地支持了对分布在尼泊尔坎吉罗巴山麓的一个新物种--S.kanjiroba sp.研究进一步表明,S.sikimmensis 的分布范围显然比以前认为的要狭窄得多。在喜马拉雅-西藏地区的广大地区,Scutiger经常被错误识别,这凸显了对采集材料进行仔细分类评估的重要性,以及在描述新物种时对近缘物种进行直接形态学比较的必要性。
Morphological and molecular data warrant the description of a new species of the genus Scutiger (Anura, Megophryidae) from the Central Himalaya.
Recent phylogenetic studies in Himalayan lazy toads of the genus Scutiger Theobald, 1868 revealed the presence of genetically deeply divergent lineages. The taxonomy of S.nepalensis sensu lato was re-assessed based on museum material considering molecular and morphological data. The results strongly support the recognition of a new species, S.kanjirobasp. nov. distributed along the Nepalese Kanjiroba massif. It is further shown that S.sikimmensis has an apparently much more restricted distribution range than previously thought. The frequent misidentification of Scutiger across large areas of the Himalaya-Tibet area highlights the significance of careful taxonomic evaluation of collection material and the need for the direct morphological comparison of closely related species when describing new species.
