Discovered in historical collections: Two new Japa I ura species (Squamata: Sauria: Agamidae) from Yulong Snow Mountains, Lijiang Prefecture, Yunnan, PR China

摘要

Several specimens from historical collections made in Yunnan (PR China) were found to be inconsistent with hitherto known species of Japalura. Two species are described as new: Japalura brevicauda spec. nov. and Japalura yulongensis spec. nov. Diagnostic features for the new species are compiled and a key to closely related species is produced. The geographical distribution of these species is outlined and discussed.
