Wildlife Conservation: Two new species of STONKER SKINK discovered and formally named in Australia. Media release dated 7 May 2025.
Australias Stonker Skink is the Shingleback lizard, otherwise known as a Bog Eye in Queensland, Stumpy Tail in South Australia and Bobtail in Western Australia. Two new ones have been discovered and formally named by Snake Man Raymond Hoser. Stonker Skinks come in lots of colours and patterns and over the past 200 years four forms were named. Most scientists treated them all as subspecies. But recently the molecular biologists got onto the case and their results showed that there were indeed four different forms and that they were all different species. So far so good, except for the fact that the wrong ones had been named. Three forms named from Western Australia were all effectively the same thing, namely Trachydosaurus (AKA Tiliqua) rugosus. The later two names coined by scientists form them therefore are effectively binned mfrom here on in. The east Australian form T. aspera is one of the other species and it is the main thing found east of the Nullarbor. However, the other two species identified by the molecular biologists that were until now without scientific names are the following. T. adelynhoseae is the species of Stonker Skink from south of Murray River, AKA Victoria, also found in far south-east South Australia. The other one, the very unusual T. jackyhoserae is found in the dead centre of the Nullarbor in South Australia and Western Australia. Where the species co-occur such as the lower Flinders Ranges and Adelaide Hills, there is no evidence of cross-breeding or hybridisation, confirming that they are indeed different species. Why does this matter? Stonker Skinks are heavily smuggled out of Australia and also illegally traded in this country. They breed slowly, by only having 1-3 babies a year, making them at risk from human activities including over-collecting in the wild. Recognising the correct species will enable wildlife departments across Australia to properly manage and conserve the reptiles. Zoos will be assisted by knowing which lizards can be paired and successfully bred and those not to bother trying to breed. Stonker Skinks are like the Shrek of lizards. They are chunky, gross shitting machines and yet adorable all at the same time. It would be sad to see any of them become extinct. Australia has roughly 1600 known species of reptiles and most are small and easily overlooked. Stonker Skinks are not among them. Snake Man Raymond Hoser has discovered about 1 in four formally named reptiles and 1 in four formally named frogs in Australia from all mainland Australian States and Territories including the ACT and Tasmania. Further information and photos can be obtained from Raymond Hoser, The Snake Man. Phone: (Australia) 0412777211 Email: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Further information about Snake Man Raymond Hoser can be found at: http://www.snakeman.com.au Hosers paper on Stonker Skinks was published in the paper below: Hoser, R.

It never gets easy discovering and naming species, but this issue carries formal scientific descriptions of 22 species of Australian skinks. Most are small and obscure, but some are large and "in your face" kinds of stuff. Australasian Journal of Herpetology Issue 75 is available as hard copies at all the usual places!

More taxonomic vandalism - Van Wallach
Not a dual nomenclature anymore - now a three way nomenclature - Wuster / Britton gang taxonomic vandalism hits a new level in their bid to kill the ICZN and the Code
Dear all,
there has been a lot written about how the Wuster/Britton gang have been creating a toxic dual nomenclature for reptiles, starting of course with their attempt to rename the cobra genus Spracklandus, as Afronaja in 2012 and so far over 130 taxa have now got dual nomenclature thinks to this gang of thieves, child sex offenders and dog fuXXers. So here I now report on the gang's decision to now engage in a three-way nomenclature for taxa. Yes, dual nomenclature may not destroy the ICZN and the code, so the Wuster/Britton gang are now engaged in creating a three way nomenclature. Recall in 2012, Hoser (2012) erected the genus Maxhoserus for the globally distributed Braminy Blind Snake. Being such a prominent taxon, it came as no surprise that the Wuster/Britton gang rushed to name the genus as "Indotyphlops" in 2014, and have plastered their name on all the online dabases since then, knowing full well that their name is an illegally coined junior synonym. Peter Uetz, even DELETED the correct name Maxhoserus from his "The Reptile Database" and the Hoser (2012) paper was also removed from his extensive references list to make sure no one else could find the correct name, Maxhoserus. Not satisfied with creating a complete and utter mess in herpetological nomenclature, The Wuster / Britton gang have now created a third name for the same genus in the form of Virgotyphlops Wallach, 2020 …. or should that be 2021? Wallach published the new name in an online only, not peer reviewed "journal" called "Podarcis" in 2020, but without Zoobank registration. When one or more of the child sex offenders, dog fuckkkers or other members of the The Wuster / Britton gang tapped Van Wallach on the shoulder and alerted him to the fact his name was invalid because it did not have zoobank registration, he republished it in a second paper in 2021, also renouncing his 2020 paper. Problem is that you cannot "unpublish" something. So just to make it clear, the correct name for the genus is Maxhoserus Hoser, 2012 and nothing else. And before someone asks, yes Virgotyphlops Wallach, 2020 is an illegally coined OBJECTIVE SYNONYM of Maxhoserus Hoser, 2012, meaning same type species. And in answer to relevant questions, Adam BRITTON a key member of the Wuster / Britton gang is currently still in jail after pleading guilty to anally raping people's pet dogs that he stole. He is expected to be back out of jail and engaging in more taxonomic vandalism for the Wuster / Britton gang in 2018. It is also true that another member of the gang has been charged with unlawful sex with a 6 year old. To claim this behavior, covered up by the gang of course, has no connection with their taxonomic vandalism and coverups of the correct earlier names as stated by Hinrich KAISER, Scott THOMSON and Mark O'SHEA is false. The activities are of these gang members the same in that they rely on covering up and hiding the truth in a very unscientific way.
All the best

Four new gecko species discovered and named on 25 March 2025. Full details at: https://www.smuggled.com/AJHIP1.htm
Australasian Journal of Herpetology 74:53-64. Published 25 March 2025. Four new gecko species within the Moroccan genus Quedenfeldtia Boettger, 1883 (Gekkota: Sphaerodactylidae). LSIDURN:LSID:ZOOBANK.ORG:PUB:6B532933-A50A-4300-8FF7-CB62995C2AB1 RAYMOND T. HOSER LSIDurn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:F9D74EB5-CFB5-49A0-8C7C-9F993B8504AE 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3134, Australia. Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Received 12 January 2025, Accepted 9 March 2025, Published 25 March 2025. ABSTRACT Until now, the genus Quedenfeldtia Boettger, 1883 type species Gymnodactylus trachyblepharus Boettger, 1873 has been treated by most publishing authors as comprising one, or two formally named taxa. These are Q. trachyblepharus (Boettger, 1873) and Q. moerens (Chabanaud, 1916). Most publishing authors recognized only Q. trachyblepharus (synonymising the latter) until Arnold (1990) recognized both as valid taxa. Since then a number of authors have shown both of the preceding putative species to be composite (e.g. Barata et al. 2012 and Harris et al. 2017). However, in the eight years since 2017, no one has taken the obvious step of formally recognising the obviously unnamed taxa. Rather than having these species being at risk from extinction due to bureaucratic indifference, this paper makes the critically important first step towards their long-term conservation by naming four of the obviously unnamed forms. These are Q. obscuratamaculis sp. nov. from the Oukaïmedèn area of the High Atlas Mountains region, until now treated as Q. trachyblepharus, the geographically proximal Q. multismaculisnigris sp. nov. also until now treated as a central High Atlas population of Q. trachyblepharus, Q. obscurusdorso sp. nov. formerly treated as an eastern population of Q. moerens and Q. minimaalba sp. nov. formerly treated as a far southern population of Q. moerens. Keywords: Gecko; Morocco; Sphaerodactylidae; Quedenfeldtia; trachyblepharus; moerens; High Atlas Mountains; new species; obscuratamaculis; multismaculisnigris; obscurusdorso; minimaalba.
