A new endemic species of Hemidactylus (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from São Nicolau Island, Cabo Verde
[EN] A new species of gecko of the genus Hemidactylus (Squamata: Gekkonidae) is described from São Nicolau Island, Cabo Verde Archipelago, and the Sal and Boavista island populations of Hemidactylus boavistensis (i.e., Hemidactylus boavistensis boavistensis comb. nov. and Hemidactylus boavistensis chevalieri comb. nov.) are recognized as subspecies. Hemidactylus nicolauensis sp. nov. is genetically distinct from H. bouvieri, to which it has previously been referred, and from all other closely related endemic Hemidactylus from Cabo Verde Islands in mitochondrial (12S & cyt b) and nuclear (RAG2, MC1R) markers. It is characterized morphologically by its distinct colouration and a diagnostically different arrangement of digital lamellae. With the description of this new species, São Nicolau is now known to harbour three single-island endemic gecko species, and the documented reptile diversity in Cabo Verde is raised to 23 endemic species. As a result of our taxonomic changes, existing conservation regulations should be updated and the conservation status of these taxa should be re-evaluated.

[PT] Uma nova espécie de osga do género Hemidactylus (Squamata: Gekkonidae) da ilha de São Nicolau, arquipélago de Cabo Verde, é descrita, e as populações de Hemidactylus boavistensis das ilhas do Sal e da Boavista (Hemidactylus boavistensis boavistensis comb. nov. e Hemidactylus boavistensis chevalieri comb. nov.) são reconhecidas como subespécies. A espécie Hemidactylus nicolauensis sp. nov. é geneticamente distinta de H. bouvieri, à qual foi anteriormente associada, e de todos os outros Hemidactylus endémicos muito aparentados das ilhas de Cabo Verde nos marcadores mitocondriais (12S & cyt b) e nucleares (RAG2, MC1R). Caracteriza-se morfologicamente pela coloração distinta e por um arranjo diferente e diagnóstico das lamelas digitais. Com a descrição desta nova espécie, São Nicolau alberga agora três espécies de osga endémicas de uma única ilha e a diversidade de répteis documentada em Cabo Verde aumenta para 23 espécies endémicas. Como resultado das nossas mudanças taxonómicas, os regulamentos de conservação existentes deverão ser actualizados e os estatutos de conservação desses taxa deverão ser reavaliados. RV was supported by a post-doctoral grant (SFRH⁄BPD⁄79913/2012) from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), I.P. under the ‘Programa Operacional Potencial Humano—Quadro de Referência Estratégico (POPH–QREN)’ and National funds from the European Social Fund and Portuguese ‘Ministério da Educação e Ciência’ and contract from FCT national funds from ‘Norma transitória’ (DL57/2016/CP1440/CT0002). Cabeólica S.A. financed the trip to Desertas, logistics and arranged permits with Direcção Nacional do Ambiente for São Vicente. Biosfera I arranged permits for Desertas and Isildo Gomes from INIDA for collecting the animals on São Nicolau. 2021-03-26T08:30:11Z 2021-03-26T08:30:11Z 2020-11-16 2021-03-26T08:30:11Z artículo http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501 doi: 10.11646/zootaxa.4878.3.4 e-issn: 1175-5334 issn: 1175-5326 Zootaxa 4878: 501-522 (2020) http://hdl.handle.net/10261/236070 10.11646/zootaxa.4878.3.4 http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100003381 http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100001871 http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100000780 http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4878.3.4 Sí none Magnolia Press |
