Abstract

We studied the morphological and genetic differences within Calotes jerdoni, a widespread species across northeast India. Our results suggest the presence of two distinct species in this region, one being Calotes jerdoni and the other being Calotes medogensis, which we report for the first time from India. We designate a lectotype for Calotes jerdoni and provided extended description based on freshly collected materials. Previously undetermined diagnostic characters were identified and are discussed here in detail. The aforementioned species show an interspecific pairwise genetic divergence of 13-14% in the ND2 mitochondrial gene.

摘要

我们研究了分布于印度东北部的丽纹龙蜥（Calotes jerdoni）的形态和遗传差异。研究结果表明，该地区存在两个截然不同的物种，一个是丽纹龙蜥（Calotes jerdoni），另一个是我们首次在印度发现的墨脱丽纹龙蜥（Calotes medogensis）。我们指定了丽纹龙蜥的正模，并根据新采集的材料提供了扩展描述。此前未确定的鉴别特征在这里进行了详细讨论。上述两个物种在 ND2 线粒体基因上的种间遗传分歧为 13-14%。
