Hallo,
neue Arbeit über karibische Schlangen:
Molecular phylogeny, classification, and biogeography of West Indian racer
snakes of the Tribe Alsophiini (Squamata, Dipsadidae, Xenodontinae)
S. BLAIR HEDGES, ARNAUD COULOUX, & NICOLAS VIDAL
"Our results are more consistent with geography than previous classifications
based on morphology, and support a reclassification of the species of alsophiines into seven named and three new genera:
Alsophis Fitzinger (Lesser Antilles), Arrhyton Günther (Cuba), Borikenophis Hedges & Vidal gen. nov. (Puerto Rican Bank and nearby islands), Caraiba Zaher et al. (Cuba), Cubophis Hedges & Vidal gen. nov. (primarily Cuba but extending throughout the western Caribbean and Bahamas Bank), Haitiophis Hedges & Vidal gen. nov. (Hispaniola),Hypsirhynchus Günther (Hispaniola and Jamaica), Ialtris Cope (Hispaniola), Magliophis Zaher et al. (Puerto Rican Bank), and Uromacer Duméril & Bibron (Hispaniola). Several subspecies are recognized as full species. Three subtribes
are recognized within the tribe Alsophiini Fitzinger: Alsophiina Fitzinger (for Alsophis, Borikenophis, Caraiba,Cubophis, Haitiophis, Hypsirhynchus, Ialtris, and Magliophis), Arrhytonina Hedges & Vidal subtribus nov. (for Arrhyton), and Uromacerina Hedges & Vidal subtribus nov. (for Uromacer)"

Schöne Ostern noch
