Grabbing Herald Snakes in Africa. See the big paper ....

ABSTRACT Following extensive fieldwork by Raymond Hoser in Africa in 2009 and after catching and inspecting large numbers of various forms of the widespread Herald Snake (Genus Crotaphopeltis Fitzinger, 1843), the genus was subjected to an intensive audit, including inspection of specimens of all previously named species in the genus, as well as a review of literature, published photos and the like. This examination included snakes from locations across the known sub-Saharan distribution of the genus as currently recognized. The result of the audit included the recognition of the six currently widely recognized species, Crotaphopeltis barotseensis Broadley, 1968, C. braestrupi Rasmussen, 1985, C. degeni (Boulenger, 1906), C. hippocrepis (Reinhardt, 1843), C. hotamboeia (Laurenti, 1768) and C. tornieri (Werner, 1908). Also resurrected from the synonymy of C. degeni (Boulenger, 1906), type locality Entebbe, Uganda, is the related taxon, Leptodira attarensis Werner, 1908 from South Sudan and nearby west Ethiopia (Gambela). An allied species Crotaphopeltis andreeblouinae sp. nov. from Cameroon and the Central African Republic is formally named for the fi rst time. The species C. tornieri (Werner, 1908), type locality Usambara Mountains, Tanga Province, northeastern Tanzania is split into four species, with the population from Mount Rungwe, Tanzania Ukinga to the south and the nearby Misuku Mountains in Malawi formally named as Crotaphopeltis juliusnyererei sp. nov.. Those morphologically similar specimens from the Ufi pa Plateau are formally named C. ufi paensis sp. nov.. The divergent population from the Rondo Plateau area of south east Tanzania are formally named as C. rondoensis sp. nov.. The remaining population of nominate C. tornieri (mainly in the north-east) is also split with the southwestern population from the Udzungwa Mountains being formally described as a new subspecies C. tornieri udzungwaensis subsp. nov.. The most widely distributed species C. hotamboeia is formally split into six subspecies, four formally named for the fi rst time. The most divergent species in the genus C. barotseensis, believed to have diverged from the others about 15 MYA, is herein placed in a new genus Paracrotaphopeltis gen. nov.. Taxonomic vandalism by way of pretending these forms are not unique, or by assigning them non-ICZN compliant duplicate names could hamper conservation to the degree that one or more way well become extinct as has already happened for other similarly affected taxa, including as detailed in Hoser (2019a, 2019b).
