new Monitor Species from Indonesia In the new issue of Australian Journal of Zoology, André Koch from the zoologisches Forschungsmuseum A. Koenig Bonn (zFMK), germany, and colleagues describe a new monitor species from Indonesia. Varanus lirungensis is known only from the small Talaud island Fig. 1. Distribution of Varanus lirungensis cuRRENT REsEARcH group located in the triangle between northern Sulawesi, Mindanao (Philippines) and Halmahera (Moluccas). The species name refers to the type locality near the village of Lirung on salibabu Island (Fig. 1). Besides molecular evidence, V. lirungensis is characterized/distinguished by a vivid dorsal colour pattern of yellow markings and faded dark crossbands on the ventral side (Fig. 2); a pinkish throat; hemipenis with paryphasman rows on both sides of the sulcus; and high scale counts around midbody, neck, and base of tail. The new cryptic species represents the most northwestern occurrence of a member of the Mangrove monitor species group around V. indicus. reference: Fig. 2.
