Gekko melli Vogt, 1922 and its types (Reptilia, Sauria, Gekkonidae)

“…Bauer & Gü nther (1991) designated ZMB 27659 A as the lectotype with the locality of north-east Kuangtung. Following Mell (1929), G. melli occurs in the forests of Lackpass Tsat muk ngau, south of Lin ping, 24 N) between Lin ping (= Lianping Xian) and Chungsun (¼ Zhongxin) (see also Pope 1935). Gee (1930) listed G. melli as a valid species and Stejneger (1932) considered a subspecific status: Gekko subpalmatus melli.…”

“…Vogt (1922) described Gecko melli (= Gekko melli) based on Mell's wide-ranging amphibian and reptile collection named it in his honour. Pope (1935) synonymised this taxon with Gekko subpalmatus (Gü nther 1864). Gekko melli differs from G. subpalmatus in numerous characters and was revalidated as a species by Rö sler et al (2005).…”

A review of the genus Tropidophorus (Squamata, Scincidae) from Vietnam with new species records and additional data on natural history

“…450 km westward from the type locality at Hainan Island. Else- where, this species is known from Hainan Island, Guangxi, and Jiangxi in China (Pope 1935;Smith 1935;Zhao & Adler 1993 Common name. Small-scaled water skink.…”

“…6d). Outside of Vietnam, this species is known from Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hong Kong in southern China (Pope 1935;Smith 1935;Zhao & Adler 1993;Karsen et al 1998). …”

“…Tropidophorus taxa are furthermore known to be closely associated with water and they have a live-bearing reproductive mode (Smith 1923(Smith , 1935Taylor 1963;Hikida et al 2002;Greer & Biswas 2004). The members of this genus range widely from Bangladesh through mainland Southeast Asia and southern China, southwards to Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as to the Philippines (Pope 1935;Smith 1935;Wen 1992;Ngo et al 2000;Hikida et al 2002;Chuaynkern et al 2005;David & Ineich 2009;Nguyen et al 2009). The Australian species Tropidophorus queenslandiae is now regarded to represent a distinct genus Gnypetoscincus (Wells & Wellington 1984;Cogger 1994).…”
