A reclassification of the Rattlesnakes

Hoser, R. T. 2012. A reclassification of the Rattlesnakes; species formerly exclusively referred to the Genera Crotalus and Sistrurus and a division of the elapid genus Micrurus. Australasian Journal of herpetology 11:2-24. Published 8 April 2012. Full text at http://www.herp.net

ABSTRACT The genus Crotalus as referred to by most taxonomists up to now failed to properly distinguish relationships within the group commonly defined as “rattlesnakes”. This paper principally redefines the phylogenetic rattlesnakes at genus and subgenus levels, formally naming well-recognised species and species groups at genus level for the first time in a configuration never previously published. In contrast to all previous classifications of the rattlesnakes this paper subdivides them into 9 genera, for which names were previously available for a total of five. For the other four genera, they are formally defined, diagnosed and named for the first time. A further eight well-defined subgenera are also defined and named for the first time. The Coral Snake genus Micrurus Wagler 1824 sensu lato, consists of in excess of 70 species level taxa. Notwithstanding the conservative physical attributes of the genus as recognised, clear and obvious divisons warrant recognition at genus level. One new genus is named herein. In turn it is divided into three subgenera.

Over 40 species of vipers have been formally named in the pages of this journal. That is the Australasian Journal of Herpetology and 40 means about 1 in 10 of all viper species worldwide.  Here is a list of some of them.

New species of Rattlesnakes.... Full text at: http://www.smuggled.com/issue-48-all.pdf Australasian Journal of Herpetology 48:1-64. Published 3 August 2020. New Rattlesnakes in the genera Crotalus Linne, 1758, Uropsophus Wagler, 1830, Cottonus Hoser, 2009, Matteoea Hoser, 2009, Piersonus Hoser, 2009 and Caudisona Laurenti, 1768 (Squamata: Serpentes: Viperidae: Crotalinae).

Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Received 1 June 2020, Accepted 20 July 2020, Published 3 August 2020. ABSTRACT Ongoing studies of the iconic Rattlesnakes (Crotalinae) identified a number of reproductively isolated populations worthy of taxonomic recognition. Prior to this paper being published, they were as yet unnamed. These studies and taxa identified and formally named herein are following on from earlier papers of Hoser in 2009, 2012, 2016 and 2018, Bryson et al. (2014), Meik et al. (2018) and Carbajal Márquez et al. (2020), which besides naming new genera and subgenera, also named a total of 9 new species and 3 new subspecies. The ten new species and eight new subspecies identified as reproductively isolated and named in accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Ride et al. 1999) are as follows: 1/ Two north-central Mexican populations of Crotalus (Sayersus) scutulatus (Kennicott 1861) are named as new species in line with the populations identified in earlier studies including Watson et al. (2019). 2/ A population until now treated as a form of Uropsophus armstrongi Campbell, 1979 from the mountains of southern Nayarit and adjacent Jalisco, Mexico, that is geographically and morphologically divergent is formally named as a new species. Another population from Michoacán, Mexico, is formally named as a subspecies of U. armstrongi. 3/ Five Mexican populations previously assigned to either Uropsophus lepidus (Kennicott 1861) or U. lepidus klauberi (Gloyd, 1936) are formally named as new species, with both the preceding taxa also treated as separate species. A further Mexican population is formally named as a subspecies. 4/ Cottonus pricei (Van Denburgh, 1895) of Mexico is formally split three ways with a new species being named and another form resurrected from synonymy. 5/ Three subspecies in the Matteoea mitchelli (Cope, 1861) complex are formally named for the first time, two from the USA and one from Baja California Sur, Mexico. 6/ A southern population of Piersonus brunneus Harris and Simmons, 1978 from Mexico is herein identified and named as a new subspecies, P. brunneus bartletti sp. nov.. 7/ One new species and two new subspecies within Caudisona Laurenti, 1768 are formally named. Scientific recognition of relevant forms is the most important first step in ensuring the long-term conservation of these potentially vulnerable native forms as previously outlined by Hoser (2019a, 2019b).
