290287EFFFFFFFE88F3EFAD1FD63A218.taxon	description	1825 Beitra ¨ ge: 24. 19 The large turtle shown laying eggs on a beach in a plate in Reise 1 (after p. 216) is Caretta. This engraving, showing two men watching while a third removes eggs from the hole, is based on a colored sketch by Wied. (The cloaked figure wearing a tall hat represents Wied himself.) Wied’s original colored sketch is reproduced in Bosch (1988: 91). It was copied for publication in the Reise by an unknown artist, who added a gun to the hand of the cloaked figure; an uncropped reproduction of the copy also is shown in Bosch (1986 – 1991, 2 / 1: 206).

290287EFFFF8FFE88CD8FC27FB91A1E1.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: In the Beitra ¨ ge the species is very well described, based on several specimens; measurements are given of two individuals, with plastral lengths 101 and 113 mm. A specimen is figured twice in the Abbildungen: in one plate the whole animal is shown from life in dorsal view, with a lateral view of the head and neck; the second plate shows the shell in dorsal and ventral views. The carapace came out too dark in the first plate and is of little use. The second plate is very good. AMNH R- 7073 is a stuffed specimen, plastral length 120 mm; it may be the larger specimen of the Beitra ¨ ge. It certainly is not the specimen whose shell is figured; there is too much morphometric difference.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFF8FFE98F1CFD51FDC3A5DF.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Measurements of two specimens are given in the Beitra ¨ ge, with plastral lengths 218 and 255 mm. The first of two plates in the Abbildungen shows a lateral view of an adult in life (pl. 5); the second shows the shell of a juvenile, with dorsal and ventral views in color and a lateral view in black and white (pl. 6). The figures are excellent. In the collection there is a shell of an adult female, AMNH R- 7043, plastral length 290 mm, possibly the subject of Wied’s first plate. On the plastron is written ‘‘ Brasilia, Mucuri. ’’ Pritchard and Trebbau (1984: 226 – 227) suggested that the Atlantic Forest population of Geochelone denticulata is isolated from the main part of its range: There is evidence that a disjunct population of G. denticulata occurs or did occur in the coastal forests of eastern Brazil; ... Maximilian zu Wied (1820) found empty shells of tortoises at Tabebue´n (north of Cabo Frio, Edo. Rio de Janeiro), and recordad tortoises at Morro de Arara, Rio Mucurí, Edo. Bahía; Belmonte, Edo. Bahía, where they were not rare; and in the densest vegetation along the Rio Ilhe´us, Edo. Bahía .... Nevertheless, the species appears now to be virtually or completely extirpated from the eastern forests of Brazil. Wied’s locality information (given by Pritchard in the quote above) comes not from the 1920 Reise as cited by Pritchard and Trebbau, but from page 61 of the Beitra ¨ ge. (Wied had few references to this species in the Reise.) And ‘‘ Tapebue´n’ ’ is not a Wied locality but a copying mistake for Tapebucu´ (5 Tapebuc ¸ u).

In the Beitra ¨ ge Wied explained that he had initially thought that the two sympatric geckos belonged to the same species; he gave the reasons (all within the local variation of the species) why he came to call them by distinct names. The nomenclaturally valid original diagnoses, for both species, are in the Isis for 1824. Both nominal species share the same type locality, Paulista (Praia do Paulista, 22 ° 139 S, 41 ° 279 W [Vanzolini, 1992: 123]).

290287EFFFF9FFEA8F31FB9CFE09A10A.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: In Reise 2 (pp. 131 – 132) there is an extensive footnote, comparing the new species with ‘‘ Daudin’s Anolis a` points blancs ’’ (A. punctatus). In the Isis for 1824 there is a diagnosis, but the earlier date of the second volume of the Reise prevails for the original description. The upper figure (no. 2) of Anolis gracilis in the composite Abbildungen plate is of a male displaying with extended dewlap, 20 Wied’s original studies for this plate (Bosch, 1991: 238, not illus.) were redrawn by Hermann Beckers. The prepublication layout of the plate is shown in Bosch (1991: 243). painted from life; the lower figure (no. 1) of Anolis viridis is of a female. Both are Anolis punctatus Daudin. The sexual dimorphism in this lizard misled Wied into thinking he had two species on hand. In the Beitra ¨ ge, Wied notes that he had only one specimen of Anolis gracilis, from Rancho do Veado (at 14 ° 479 S, 39 ° 199 W) (Bokermann, 1957). The specimen shows as species no. 38 in Wied’s 1860 manuscript catalog, but there is no evidence that it ever reached the American Museum.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFFAFFEA8F34FF7AFBB9A55C.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: In letterpress accompanying the Abbildung, Wied noted that Spix’s plate was incorrectly colored and that the living color of this well-known lizard had been nowhere described, and that he had obtained only a female for illustration. In the Beitra ¨ ge, Wied said that his specimen was taken alive at Villa Vic ¸ oza; it measured 405 - + 1007 - 5 150 (our conversions 108 mm + 260 mm 5 368 mm). This specimen seems to have disappeared prior to Wied’s preparation of his 1860 manuscript catalog, which lists it only from Guiana (species no. 37 [AMNH R- 105 and R- 1695, are cataloged as Maximilian specimens from Guiana]). Wied’s unpublished manuscript name for this species was ‘‘ Polychrus virescens, ’’ which was validated by Schinz (1822: 65). Wied (1825 a: 124) explained in the Beitra ¨ ge that Schinz had used the name virescens based on a short note from him. For commentary on the name Polychrus virescens as used by Voigt (1832), Wagler (1828: pl. 12), and Schinz (1833 – 1835: 88 – 89, pl. 28), see Myers et al. (2011: 4, 8). Myers et al. (2011) furthermore summarized that ‘‘ Polychrus virescens Schinz is correctly shown in Peters and Donoso- Barros (1970: 234) as a synonym of Polychrus marmoratus (Linnaeus), but it had been Wied’s manuscript name for a new species that he subsequently re-identified as Polychrus marmoratus, [sensu] Merrem. ’’ Although Polychrus marmoratus has a huge distribution in northern South America; there are only a few synonyms, but the type localities are vague or lacking (see Peters and Donoso-Barros, 1970: 234). Depending on an analysis of geographic variation and species boundaries, the nomen oblitum Polychrus virescens Schinz conceivably could be resurrected for a Brazilian population.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

The Maximilian collection at the American Museum contains but a single specimen of Enyalius, AMNH R- 108, from which all color pattern has been bleached after nearly two centuries in alcohol. More than a little confusion surrounds this poor specimen, as outlined below, following a brief description. It should become evident to the reader that intraspecific variation and species limits in Enyalius are still not well understood.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFFAFFD08F6EF92FFBBBA16C.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION OF AMNH R- 108: It is a female, with convoluted oviducts but lacking enlarged ova; the body has been previously opened. The specimen is very soft and has lost all vestiges of color pattern. Size: 90 mm SVL + 197 mm tail (including brokenoff piece of 145 mm) 5 287 mm total length (tail 2.19 X SVL); tibia length 23 mm, tibia / SVL 5 0.26. Canthal ridge virtually straight, barely curved toward midline anteriorly; anteriormost canthal scale somewhat approaching upper edge of nasal scale. Supraoculars smooth, some moderately enlarged, approaching size of circumorbital scales. No enlarged suboculars. Midbody scales cannot be accurately counted owing to condition of specimen. A low vertebral crest starting at rear of head and continuing weakly onto base of tail: 54 enlarged vertebral crest scales (or 65 scales including small ones) to anterior edge of thigh held at right angle to body, or 74 scales (large and small) to level of rear edge of thigh. Small conical scales on sides of body, becoming distinctly larger, flattened, and virtually smooth dorsally on either side of vertebral crest. Ventral scales very weakly keeled on chest, becoming smooth over most of venter. Scales on underside of shank (infratibials) keeled, about as wide as long. Subdigital lamellae smooth, distal several divided. Caudal scales arranged in segments, with about 4 – 5 dorsal and 3 ventral scales per segment. Because the specimen has lost all vestiges of color pattern, Maximilian’s lovely plates of picta and catenata (see pls. 10 – 11 herein) cannot be used to assign it, and other avenues must be explored. ASSIGNMENT OF AMNH R- 108: Although only this specimen is known to have reached the American Museum, Maximilian had collected at least four and probably at least five specimens of two species of ‘‘ Agama, ’’ which he named catenata and picta in 1821 and 1823, respectively. In 1860, Maximilian brought their identifications and then-current synonymies up to date in his manuscript catalog, as follows:	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W. (2015): The Herpetological Collection Of Maximilian, Prince Of Wied (1782 - 1867), With Special Reference To Brazilian Materials.

290287EFFFFAFFD08F6EF92FFBBBA16C.taxon	description	AMNH R- 108 was identified after (1) above, with the name Enyalius rhombifer entered in the AMNH book catalog for reptiles; of two ‘‘ original’ ’ numbers shown, one (380) was Maximilian’s species number and the other (152) probably an older AMNH card catalog number preceding the first (1920) book catalog (Myers, 2000: 100). Myers examined the catalog entry in 1976, finding that someone had decided that AMNH R- 108 was the type of Maximilian’s catenatus and that the catalog had been so marked. The original book entry had consequently been emended by attempting to erase ‘‘ rhombifer’ ’ (still legible under magnification) and superimposing the name ‘‘ catenatus ’’; the same hand added ‘‘ Bahía’ ’ to the original entry ‘‘ Brazil. ’’ 21 Etheridge (1969: 244, 246) examined AMNH R- 108 for his revision of Enyalius and accepted the designation of holotype for E. catenatus. In his account for E. pictus, Etheridge (1969: 240) designated a neotype of pictus under the assumption that the holo- 21 These catalog emendations were not necessarily incorrect if the original entry rhombifer had been taken from the bottle containing Wied’s specimen, but that cannot be determined. It is not known when the emendations were made, but they were entered prior to about 1969, after which changes or data interpolations were made in pencil and usually dated and initialed (Myers, 2000: 101). type of that species ‘‘ apparently was in the American Museum ... and is now lost. ’’ In a subsequent revision of the genus, Jackson (1978: 19 – 20) also examined AMNH R- 108, which he thought did not agree with his concept of catenatus. On the basis of the aforesaid emended catalog entry (Myers in letter to J. F. Jackson, Jan. 13, 1976), Jackson concluded that the specimen did not have type status and that the holotype of catenatus is apparently lost. Jackson (1978: 21) accepted also Etheridge’s conclusion that the holotype of E. pictus was likewise lost and stated that the neotype designated by Etheridge corresponds well with Wied’s illustration of pictus. Jackson (1978: 19) further concluded that AMNH R- 108 ‘‘ is clearly a member of an unnamed taxon of which all other specimens have been collected in southeastern Brazil. ’’ Jackson (1978: 26) assigned AMNH R- 108 to his new Enyalius perditus. Unfortunately, in accepting that AMNH R- 108 either was, or was not, the holotype of A. catenatus, neither Etheridge nor Jackson seems to have compared it with specimens of the one other species described by Wied, namely A. picta. Jackson furthermore did not compare the specimen critically with specimens of his Enyalius perditus. The specimen comes out readily to Enyalius pictus in Etheridge’s (1969: 255 – 256) generic key, or to E. catenatus if the faintly keeled chest scales count as ‘‘ ventral scales keeled. ’’ However, because of the relatively close approach of the anterior canthal ridge to the nasal scale, the specimen keys out to the later-described E. perditus of Jackson (1978: 27 – 28). Nonetheless, AMNH R- 108 does not appear to be conspecific with Enyalius perditus Jackson, despite Jackson’s (1978: 26) flat-out claim that it is a specimen of that southern species, which claim was given as ‘‘ further evidence that AMNH R- 108 is not Wied’s type of [the more northern] catenatus since the type locality is specified as the interior of Bahia. ’’ Jackson asserted that AMNH R- 108 was a specimen of perditus but did not include it as a paratype or discuss the characters that led him to his conclusion. He may have been impressed mainly by the condition of the anterior part of the canthal ridge, inasmuch as several other characters are inconsistent with his description of perditus, which has, for example, keeled supraorbitals and keeled belly scales. We have compared AMNH R- 108 with four specimens of E. perditus collected at the type locality Boracéia. 22 These specimens are immediately distinguishable from AMNH R- 108 by a character not used by Jackson — the sides of the body in perditus are covered with tiny conical granules that become slightly larger dorsally but remain conical or strongly keeled in the paravertebral region. In contrast, the dorsal scales on either side of the median crest in AMNH R- 108 are larger, flattened, and virtually smooth — much as in a few available specimens of pictus from Bahia (AMNH R- 131859 – 131860). Wied illustrated, described, and measured one specimen of Agama picta, although there is heretofore unpublished indication that at least one other specimen might have been 22 AMNH R- 120470 (ex MZUSP 38381), a paratype collected by B. Faria in 1975, and AMNH R- 119750 – 119752 collected by Myers in 1979. preserved (see below). Wied’s published measurements (in Abbildungen and Beitra ¨ ge) convert to 86 + 189 5 275 mm, compared with our recent measurements of the nowflaccid specimen of 90 + 197 5 287 mm. The Abbildungen plate (see pl. 10) shows the lizard with a small erect gular sac, 23 described in the Beitra ¨ ge as loose skin under the throat that puffs up when the lizard is excited; the skin under the throat of AMNH R- 108 seems loose enough to form a small fold in profile (fig. 8). Wied implied that the belly scales are smooth when he mentioned that those on the chest are somewhat keeled, which is exactly the case in AMNH R- 108.

290287EFFFFAFFD08F6EF92FFBBBA16C.taxon	description	We think that AMNH R- 108 represents Wied’s Agama picta and, although we cannot say with absolute assurance that it is the same specimen illustrated and described, we provisionally regard it as the holotype of that species, thereby setting aside Etheridge’s (1969: 240) designation of a neotype (ICZN, 1999: article 75.8). This view could be disproved were it shown that the illustrated color pattern is actually confined to males as implied by Jackson (1978: 21 – 22), who described variant patterns in the few females available to him, in contrast to Etheridge (1969: 241) who stated that ‘‘ The pattern is equally vivid in both sexes. ’’ The plate is very colorful (see pl. 10), although the colors may now differ a bit from Wied’s field sketch painted at Morro d’Arara in March 1816, which is reproduced here (from Bosch, 1991: 239) as figure 8. Wied’s descriptive field identification on the sketch reads ‘‘ Lacerta fasciata (m). ’’ Wied’s de- termination of the specimen as male almost certainly was due to the small extended gular pouch, which seems about as large in AMNH R- 108, a female. The gular pouch also is extended in one of two quick sketches of the head, which show that the tongue was orange like the gular pouch (fig. 8). Wied’s field painting and the specimen were used by an illustrator (H. J. Beckers) to prepare the published plate (compare fig. 8 with pl. 10); the work was critiqued by Wied (in a back section of the Beitra ¨ ge 604), who commented that while the color and habitus were correct and the scales of the head were fairly accurate, the body scales were less accurately copied by the illustrator. The above field sketch is accompanied in Bosch (1991: 239) by a separate study of a tail, which must have been drawn sometime later, after Wied’s return home to Neuwied since it is labeled Agama picta (vs. Lacerta fasciata on the field sketch). The tail sketch emphasizes an ‘‘ error’ ’ in scutellation (a regeneration event). This cannot be matched on AMNH R- 108, indicating that Wied had at least two specimens of A. picta. Possibly he interpreted this as a character and instructed his illustrator to include a drawing of the tail in the published plate. Although it is not a very good representation, the illustrator obviously saw nothing unusual, as would be expected if he were drawing from the present AMNH R- 108.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFFAFFD08F6EF92FFBBBA16C.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE LOCALITY: Wied had only a single locality for Agama picta, which therefore is the type locality. In the Abbildungen it was given as ‘‘ Morro d’Arara am Flusse Mucurí, ’’ and in the Beitra ¨ ge as ‘‘ Lagoa d’Arara am Mucurí. ’’ Etheridge (1969: 240) seemed to interpret ‘‘ Lagoa d’Arara am Mucurí’ ’ as two localities, and, on that basis, he incorrectly restricted the type locality to the town of Mucuri at the mouth of the Rio Mucuri (18 ° 059 S, 39 ° 349 W), some distance from the actual locality. Morro d’Arara was on the Lagoa d’Arara — the names are interchangeable in Wied’s publications — above the lake’s outlet to the Rio Mucuri. At the time of Wied’s visit, Morro d’Arara was a new fazenda whose name meant ‘‘ Araraberg’ ’ 24 (Reise 1: 249 – 250). According to Wied (Reise 1: 250, 252), Morro d’Arara was reached in a day and a half up the Rio Mucuri. Entrance to the Lagoa d’Arara was through a narrow, shady channel on the north side of the 24 Araraberg — hill of the araras, common name for the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao). Wied had a long encampment at Morro d’Arara on Lagoa d’Arara (Feb. 5 – July 23, 1816), which is the type locality of his Anolis viridis, Agama picta, Coluber formosus, and Rana macrocephala. Mucuri, with Morro d’Arara another quarter hour up the Lagoa d’Arara — described as a fine lake of fair size, encompassed by forested mountains. Bokermann (1957: 224) placed Morro da Arara on the margin of the Rio Mucuri, about 30 km from its mouth, and Vanzolini (1992: 24) provided the approximate coordinates 18 ° 069 S, 39 ° 489 W. The above account and the one following were prepared several years ago. Since then the phylogeny has been partially elucidated by Rodrigues et al., 2014. Subspecies of Enyalis are no longer recognized.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFC0FFD28F1BFDDDFE0BA05E.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Wied gave measurements for one specimen of Agama catenata in the Reise, illustrated one specimen (see pl. 11) with different measurements in the Abbildungen, and described and measured two specimens in the Beitra ¨ ge (the larger corresponding to the Abbildung text, but measurements for the original Reise specimen were not repeated). The largest of his three specimens (84 + 167 5 251 mm) is smaller than the presumed holotype of Agama picta (see above). The considerable confusion concerning the type specimen of Wied’s Agama catenata is discussed above, under Agama picta. There are no catenata specimens extant in the Maximilian collection, and no indication that any of Maximilian’s several specimens of the species ever reached the American Museum. Jackson (1978: 20) cited the type locality as ‘‘ Sertong der Capitania da Bahia’ ’ (the back country of Bahia), but, as earlier noted by Etheridge (1969: 244), the original description (Reise 2: 247) seemed to be based on a specimen taken at Cabec ¸ a do Boi, a specific place that can reasonably be considered the type locality. Enyalius catenatus seemed to be encountered frequently enough for Wied to believe that it does not occur south of parallel 16 ° S, very roughly the southern limit shown in Jackson’s map for ‘‘ catenatus x pictus ’’ intergrades (Jackson, 1978: fig. 20). (Some if not all of the more southern localities mapped by Etheridge [1969: fig. 10 A] were considered by Jackson to represent E. perditus.)	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

PRESENT STATUS: (Tropidurus torquatus Wied, 1820).	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W. (2015): The Herpetological Collection Of Maximilian, Prince Of Wied (1782 - 1867), With Special Reference To Brazilian Materials. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 2015 (395): 1-155, DOI: 10.1206/910.1, URL: http://www.bioone.org/doi/10.1206/910.1
290287EFFFC0FFD28F1BFDDDFE0BA05E.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Tropidurus torquatus is most fully discussed in the Beitra ¨ ge, where Wied cites two places in the first volume of the Reise: the first reference to page 36 is mistaken, and that to page 106 refers to the original 1820 description of Stellio torquatus. The reference in the second volume of the Reise is incidental. Tropidurus is the only genus named by Wied. The type locality of the type species (by monotypy) Stellio torquaus is Paulista, as pointed out by Mu ¨ ller (1927: 284). It is species no. 44 in Maximilian’s 1860 manuscript catalog, where it is listed as ‘‘ Ecphymotes torquatus (Tropidurus W.). ’’ There are no specimens in the collection and no indication that any of the syntypes ever reached the American Museum. The generic name is diagnosed in 1824 in Isis and in the Abbildungen. The original footnote description of Stellio torquatus deals mostly with variability in color pattern. In the Abbildungen two very good figures are given on one plate, one of an adult in side view and one, especially good, of a juvenile in dorsal view. The plate (see pl. 12 herein) is labeled Stellio torquatus. Wied started this discussion by stating a notion that had preyed on him for several years, namely that his torquatus was similar or identical with Seba’s ‘‘ Stellio Quetz-Paleo ’’ (Seba, 1734 [1734 – 1835]: vol. 1, tab. 97, fig. 4, between pp. 152 and 153). The American Museum copy of the Abbildungen contains two copies of the descriptive letterpress text. One is an undated replacement sheet provided to subscribers, with an attached Zur Nachricht (‘‘ notice’ ’) on a slip of paper identifying it as belonging to the sixth Lieferung. There are differences in both the German and French texts, but we shall comment only on the former (which always appears first and is generally given priority in matters involving the Abbildungen). The generic diagnosis from the original 1824 letterpress sheet follows (in text immediately preceding, Wied repeated his original suspicion [from Reise 1] that this lizard probably is Seba’s Quetzpaleo). (*) Tropidurus. Gatinugs-Keunzeichen. Kopf mit Schildern bedeckt; am vordern Rande des Ohres spitzige Schuppen; Kehle geschuppt, ohne Kropf; Schwanz geringelt, die Schuppen desselben spitzig und gekielt, bilden mehrere fortgesetzte La ¨ ngskiele; Ru ¨ cken und Bauch mit Schuppen bedeckt; Schenkel ohue Porenreihe. The generic diagnosis was reworked in the later replacement sheet, as follows: (*) Tropidurus. Gattuungskennzeichen: Kopf geschildet; Za ¨ hne an jeder Seite mit einem Ausschnitte; Ohr an seinem vordern Rande mit verla ¨ ngert Schuppen (Stachelschuppen) besetzt; Kehle schuppig, ohne Kehlsack; Schwanz mit ma ¨ ssiggrossen, stachelig gekielten Schuppen bedeckt, welche mehrere La ¨ gskiele bilden; Schenkelo ¨ ffnuggen fehlen; Ru ¨ ckeu und Bauch schuppig. The first species diagnosis contains only minor rewording for the replacement sheet (En schwarzer Streif becomes Ein schwarzer Streifen; and the tail, instead of being la ¨ nger als der Ko ¨ rper becomes la ¨ nger als gewo ¨ hnlich.) But previous references to ‘‘ Stellio ... ’’ or ‘‘ Lacerta brasiliensis Quetzpaleo. Seba ..., ’’ are dropped in the replacement sheet, where Wied states that, despite the resemblance, Seba’s lizard is different, as will be shown elsewhere (i. e., see Wied, 1828, Nova Acta series). The replacement sheet has an added reference to ‘‘ Meine Beitr. zur Naturg. von Bras. B. 1. pag. 139 ’’ — a page reference showing that the sheet must have been issued after proof was seen for the 1825 Beitra ¨ ge, but before 1828, when Wied’s Acta Nova paper appeared. In that paper Wied decided that Tropidurus was closest not to Seba’s lizard but to another iguanid — Uromastyx cyclurus Merrem (1829: 56). The last is indeed ‘‘ different, ’’ as Wied said it was), ’’ but it too was close to Seba’s Quetzpaleo according to Merrem’s (loc. cit.) footnoted comparison with the earlier name, Cordylus brasiliensis Laurenti (1768: 52). In naming the last, Laurenti (1768: 52) credited the Cordylus to ‘‘ Var. ss. (Seba I. 97. 4.) ’’ See also Wagner (1833). Wied’s genus Tropidurus now holds 26 species of South American and Gala´pagos lizards (Uetz and Hosˇek, 2015).	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

REMARKS: Peters and Donoso-Barros (1970: 94) credited Teius cyanomelas Wied to the 1825 Beitra ¨ ge, but publication dates from the 1824 Abbildungen plate (the 1824 Isis article lacks a diagnosis). Wied had one specimen that he figured and named Teius cyanomelas. The type locality is open areas near the mouth of the Rio Mucuri (Bahia, Brazil). The species is listed as ‘‘ Ameiva (Teius W.) cyanomelas W. ’’ in Wied’s handwritten 1860 taxonomic catalog, but the specimen seemingly disappeared after that and was not in the collection that reached the American Museum only a decade later. Wied’s original, never-published manuscript name for cyanomelas was ‘‘ Lacerta 5 - lineata, ’’ based on the specimen taken at Mucuri, April 20, 1816. His watercolor-andpen field sketch, with name and data added by his hand, is reproduced in Bosch (1991: 237). It clearly is the sketch copied by Wied’s artist for publication in the Abbildungen as Teius cyanomelas (Wied, 1824, Lief. 5). Myers et al. (2011: 5, 7, 9 – 11, fig. 2) clarified the nomenclatural history of this species, which was discovered by Wied: He supplied his manuscript name Teius cyanomelas to H. R. Schinz, who published it as Lacerta cyanomelas. But neither Lacerta cyanomelas Schinz, 1822 nor Teius cyanomelas Wied, 1824, was used as a valid name after 1899 and both are qualified as nomena oblita, whereas the relatively well-known junior name Cnemidophorus nativo Rocha et al., 1997, was designated the valid name under provisions of the Code (ICZN, 1999: art. 23.9.1.2).	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

In the Isis of 1824 he misidentified the species as ‘‘ S [cincus]. quadrilineatus, ’’ and continued the misidentification in the Beitra ¨ ge under the name ‘‘ Gymnophthalmus quadrilineatus Mer- r [em]. ’’ Wied’s reference to the Abbildungen on page 198 of the Beitra ¨ ge anticipated the plate that was to appear four years later. There are no specimens in the collection.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

[His] description is clear and calls attention to the bright blue tail of the species (not shown in the Abbildungen plate because the sky-blue color disappears completely in preservative fide Wied, 1825 a: 203, 204). It is the only blue-tailed lizard living in an area traveled by Wied. Although Schinz (1822) qualified the name given to him by Wied, Scincus cyanurus Schinz went unused and is a forgotten name. It has been qualified as a nomen oblitum and a wellknown younger name (Micrablepharus maximiliani) qualified as a nomen protectum. This action also solved the problem of homonymy between Scincus cyanurus Schinz, 1822, and Scincus cyanurus Lesson, 1826 (Emoia cyanurus), a widespread Pacific skink.

290287EFFFCCFFDD8F69FDC3FE0CA696.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: The mentions of Boa anaconda in the Reise are incidental: they deal with details of color pattern, size, and distribution. The name Boa aquatica was proposed in 1823, in Lieferung 2 of the Abbildungen, clearly as a substitute for other names (Boa scytale, anaconda, gigas, murina) previously used by Linnaeus, Schneider, Daudin, Latreille, and Merrem. The reason was not systematic, but, as we read in the Beitra ¨ ge, to stress the aquatic habits of the animal, which deeply impressed Wied. Since it is a generalized substitute name, the use of Boa aquatica is subjective and not clearly part of any strict synonmy; Peters and Orejas-Miranda (1970: 114) give ‘‘ Brazil’ ’ as the type locality. In the Beitra ¨ ge, Wied mentioned seeing an anaconda nearly 6 m in length, with details of color pattern, size, and distribution. The name Boa aquatica was proposed in 1823, in Lieferung 2 of the Abbildungen, clearly as a substitute for other names (Boa scytale, anaconda, gigas and he gives detailed measures for a specimen of 2.8 m. There are only three anacondas (AMNH R- 3031 – 3033) in the Maximilian collection, but they are very young specimens lacking locality data; these specimens cannot be associated with Wied’s publications or his manuscript catalog. Dirksen and Böhme (1998: 54 – 55) note that the three specimens resemble zoo hybrids between Eunectes murinus from Trinidad and E. notaeus from Paraguay, but their statement that these Maximilian specimens came from Brazil was an assumption that is not supported by AMNH catalog data. (The specimens conceivably might have been acquired by Maximilian in exchange or by purchase long after his Brazilian expedition; in any case, there seems to be no immediate way of determining a probable geographic source.)	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFCCFFDC8D39FB40FC34A175.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: For many years only a single continental species of Epicrates was recognized, although subspecies had been described (e. g., Machado, 1944; Amaral, 1955). Re- cently, however, Passos and Fernandes (2008) and Rivera et al. (2011) independently concluded that there are five distinct continental species: E. alverezi, E. assisi, E. cenchria, E. crassus, and E. maurus. Passos and Fernandes (2008: 28 – 29) give locality records for four species in Brazil, but their editor showed poor judgment in allowing the distribution map (fig. 8) to be printed so small as to be nearly useless. Hemipenial structures (fig. 7) appear supportive of species distinctness. There are no specimens extant in the Maximilian collection.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFCDFFDE8CF6FA68FCEBA5DE.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: There is only one specimen, now AMNH R- 2151 (fig. 9) (species no. 154 in the manuscript catalog), which was described and illustrated by Wied. Data from the Beitra ¨ ge include, converted length 623 + 245 mm, ventrals 200, subcaudals 95. AMNH R- 2151 measures 658 + 250 mm, has 1992 ventrals (counting two small ‘‘ preventrals’ ’) and 95 unpaired subcaudals. The specimen is very faded and the original color pattern cannot be determined (what initially appear to be traces of markings seem to be old discolored areas of abrasion or other artifacts of preservation). Wied’s plate shows a brown-headed snake with a nearly colorless, very pale grayish body, which is sparsely marked with a blackish nape bar, a broad black band (about 6 scales long) anteriorly on the body, two small irregularly shaped black blotches (one behind the broad band, the other near the end of the body), and some irregularly distributed dark gray scales, mostly on the anterior half of the body. The plate includes dorsal and ventral outlines of the head, which were compared directly with the specimen. Convincing evidence that the drawings were based on AMNH R- 2151 is provided by the disposition of the two gular scales that are in asymmetrical contact with the posterior genials and flank the first small ventral (or ‘‘ preventral’ ’); the second, larger ventral (‘‘ preventral’ ’) is flanked on each side by a scale that is not part of the first dorsal row.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFCDFFDE8CF6FA68FCEBA5DE.taxon	description	represents nigra as well as most of the synonymy and the description of the nasal bones. But specimens of neuwiedii are included and Boulen- ger (1896: 112 – 113) recognized the complex .... However, he erred in identifying the remainder of the complex (nigra) with Rhinosimus (5 Phimophis) guerini Dumeril and Bibron. The name nigra then, with type locality Bahia, is resurrected for the second and third varieties of Dumeril and Bibron and for the Oxyrhopus guerini of Boulenger. Even though Wied’s specimen was not handled by Duméril and Bibron (1834 – 1854, 25 Stimpson (1974) noted that this name was a junior primary homonym of Scytale niger Daudin (5 Heterodon platirhinos), an unused name that was suppressed by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in 1981 (ICZN, 1981). 7: 1001 – 1002), their concept of the composite Scytale neuwiedii clearly included Wied’s description and especially the color plate of ‘‘ Scytale coronata. ’’ AMNH R- 2151 therefore is a syntype of Pseudoboa neuwiedii (Dume´ril, Bibron, and Dume´ril) under modern standards of nomenclature (ICZN, 1999: arts. 72.4, 73.2.1). AMNH R- 2151 became a paralectotype of Pseudoboa neuwiedii owing to the action of Hoge and Lancini V. (1960), who designated another syntype as lectotype. 26 However, Wied’s specimen belongs to Duméril, Bibron, and Dume´ril’s variety nigrum, now recognized as Pseudoboa nigra. Since Dume´ril et al. did not specifically associate Wied’s plate with their variety nigrum, the specimen would not seem to reasonably qualify as an syntype explicitly of that species. Nonetheless, it and all the other original specimens of Pseudoboa nigra became paralectotypes of P. neuwiedii after the designation of a lectotype for neuwiedii. Although paralectotypes are said to have no name-bearing function (ICZN, 1999: art. 73.2.2), any of the original P. nigra specimens presumably are available for lectotype designation of that species. However, anyone needing to designate a lectotype for P. nigra (assuming that it has not been done) should give first consideration to the Paris museum specimen obtained in Bahia by Lemelle-Deville, as singled out by Dume´ril et al. (1854 [1834 – 1854], vol. 7: 1002) when establishing their variety nigrum. AMNH R- 2151 is represented in Maximilian’s 1860 manuscript catalog as species no. 154 – ’’ [Scytale] Wiedii D. B. (Sc. coronata Wied) ’’; the locality is ‘‘ Brasilien, ’’ but in the Abbildungen and Beitra ¨ ge he noted that it came from a sandy place between the rivers S. Matthaeus (Rio Sa ˜ o Mateus) and Doc ¸ e (Rio Doce) at about 19 ° south latitude. 26 These authors designated as lectotype the Paris Museum specimen cited by Duméril et al. (1854: 1002) as having been collected by ‘‘ Bauperthuis’ ’ [Beauperthuy] at ‘‘ Côte-Ferme, ’’ which therefore automatically became the type locality of Pseudoboa neuwiedii. Based on historical evidence, Hoge and Lancini (1960) interpreted Beauperthuy’s ‘‘ Côte-Ferme’ ’ as being in the vicinity of the city of Cumaná in Estado Sucre, Venezuela. This was a clarification or determination of type locality, not a subjective ‘‘ type-locality restriction’ ’ of the sort that was commonplace in some branches of 20 th century taxonomy.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFCFFFD98C8EFF7AFCCCA5DF.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: The species was first named in the Isis for 1824, prior to the subsequent treatments in the Beitra ¨ ge and in Lieferung 10 of the Abbildungen. The diagnosis in the Isis recognized two varieties, distinguished by the color of the throat and lips. Both varieties were well illustrated in the Abbildungen, with two color plates showing yellowish-gray and slightly greenish-gray snakes having irregular, dark gray crossbands on the dorsa, black-edged labials, and the tops of the head red-brown. These plates were differentiated as A and B in the accompanying text, and are reproduced herein as plates 21 and 22, respectively: Plate A [21]. Caninana de papo amarello (Kehle und Kiefer-Einfassung scho ¨ n gelb). The corresponding plate shows the lips, side of throat, and ventrolateral edging all golden yellow. Plate B [22]. Caninana de papo vermelho (Kehle und Kiefer-Einfassung rothbraun). The lips are red-brown like the top of the head, turning lighter reddish on the side of the throat and ventrolaterally. This plate also includes uncolored outline drawings of the dorsal and ventral sides of the head. The description in the Beitra ¨ ge is complex, recognizing several varieties, including the two above. The first specimen of Coluber poecilostoma mentioned in the Beitra ¨ ge is the variety ‘‘ B’ ’; it measured 1355 + 452 mm, had 214 ventrals and 126 subcaudals. The only extant specimen in Maximilian’s collection is AMNH R- 3480, a male, which is broken into two pieces, from which we obtained SVL and tail measurements of 1290 + 480 mm; ventrals cannot be counted; subcaudals are 129. A decisive test is the comparison of the pattern of head scales with dorsal and ventral head outlines in plate B. Agreement is remarkable. We therefore think that AMNH R- 3480 (fig. 10) is the specimen shown in plate B, and also that it probably is the first specimen described in the Beitra ¨ ge. It seemingly is the only surviving syntype and we consequently designate AMNH R- 3480 as the lectotype of Coluber poecilostoma.

290287EFFFCFFFD98C8EFF7AFCCCA5DF.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: The original description is in the Isis for 1824. Only one specimen is described in the Beitra ¨ ge. It measured 793 + 438 mm, and had 159 ventrals and 147 subcaudals. AMNH R- 3531, a male, measures 720 + 425 mm, has 161 ventrals and 146 subcaudals. The head scales agree perfectly with the plate. Oliver (1948: 234) thought that this specimen was the type and, in spite of the disagreement in measurements, we agree that AMNH R- 3531 is the holotype of Coluber liocercus. Oliver (1948: 234) stated that ‘‘ The coloration [of AMNH R- 3531] is not like that shown in Wied’s color plate (head and neck green, rest of body and tail bronzy brown, the body darkened by black streaks on the keels; first scale row unkeeled, paler brownish like ventral surfaces), but the specimen has lost all of the stratum corneum and cannot be expected to have retained all details of coloration. ’’ The specimen is faded (fig. 11) and differs most noticeably from the plate in now lacking the conspicuous black keeling. It must be noted that the plate shows a dorsal color pattern that Vanzolini has never seen in an eastern Brazilian specimen. It is impossible to settle on a specific type locality for this snake. No localities are given in the Isis or in the Abbildungen. The Beitra ¨ ge mentions too many localities — covering the coast of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo from Marica´ to Vito´ ria.

290287EFFFCFFFD98C8EFF7AFCCCA5DF.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Wied unexpectedly used a latinized trinomial (Coluber variabilis Kuhlii) for this taxon, when he first named it in the 1824 Isis. The spelling was maintained in the 1825 Beitra ¨ ge. Wied, however, evidently came to doubt its appropriateness and the name was changed to a binomial both in plate 24 and the accompanying letterpress text 27 in the 1831 Abbildungen. The binomial there is followed by a comma and then, in smaller font, the name Kuhlii in position of authority. The reference is to ‘‘ Dr. Kuhl aus Leiden, er hatte sie mit Merrem Coluber vatiabilis genannt. ’’ This first or earlier ‘‘ Coluber variabilis Merrem’ ’ is cited in Peters and Orjeja-Miranda (1970: 282) who give Boulenger’s Catalogue as source though they say they ‘‘ have not been able to verify this citation. ’’ In any case, everything is buried in synomy and Wied’s action was not an early use of the subspecies concept. 27 The text accompanying plate 24 is lacking in the American Museum copy of the Abbidungen but was available (and copied from) the MZUSP copy in São Paulo. Wied described two specimens in the Beitra ¨ ge, giving measurements of one young one. The subsequent plate in the Abbildungen apparently shows the specimen measured in the Beitra ¨ ge; the color pattern indicates that the snake is a young one. The composite plate (pl. 24) shows the whole snake and underside of the head in color, and dorsal and ventral outlines of the head scutellation. The measured juvenile was ‘‘ somewhat more’ ’ than 367 mm body length, plus 122 mm tail length, with 207 ventrals and 111 subcaudals. AMNH R- 3483 (fig. 18 A), a male, measures 420 + 140 mm, has 202 ventrals and 113 subcaudals; it corresponds with the plate and probably is the specimen measured and figured; we regard it as the holotype. A larger syntype, AMNH R- 3482, male, 1330 + 420 mm, 208 ventrals, and 104 subcaudals, belongs very probably to the same series, but there is no hard evidence for this assertion.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFCAFFDB8D22FB65FDA9A6BC.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: What is generally taken as the original description (e. g., Bailey, 1955; Peters and Orejas-Miranda, 1970) in the Reise is so laconic and bare of data that its validity might be doubted. The name dates from Reise 1. The original description consists of a two-line footnote plus elaboration on color and size in the accompanying text. The treatment in the Beitra ¨ ge is very good, as well as the Abbildungen plate of a green snake with yellow ventral surfaces and paravertebral keels. Bailey (1955) revalidated the species. There are no specimens in the collection. The type locality is a few kilometers south of the lower course of the Rio Jucu in Espirito Santo. Bailey’s choice of Barra do Jucu (20 ° 249 S, 40 ° 199 W) is sensible in that one otherwise would have to consider a series of localities cited in the Beitra ¨ ge, from the city of Rio de Janeiro to Vito´ ria.

The name of this species dates from the 1824 Isis paper, not the 1825 Beitra ¨ ge as sometimes given. The species appears to be based on a single specimen with 137 ventrals and 50 – 51 subcaudals; the Beitra ¨ ge gave measurements equivalent to 721 + 155 mm. AMNH R- 3365, a female, is a very damaged specimen, whose ventrals cannot be counted. But it measures 717 + 155 mm and has 50 subcaudals — essentially a perfect match.

A formal description with a color plate appeared in Nova Acta, and virtually the same description was published in the same year (Wied, 1825 b) in the Beitra ¨ ge. For the 1831 fascicle of Abbildungen, the original color plate from Nova Acta was evidently recopied (perhaps with specimen in hand, as there is a slight shift in positioning) by the artist Hermann Beckers in the same style, with the outline drawings of the head being reduced and repositioned. This second painting, shown in Bosch (1986 – 1991: 256), was transferred to copperplate in mirror image for the Abbildungen (see pl. 29).	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFCBFFC08CEEFA0EFEA4A531.taxon	description	28 Usage, however, sometimes trumps priority, as in the case of another of Prince Max’s names: Coluber poecilogyrus (now in Liophis) came to prevail by fiat (in 1996) over older names, including Lichtenstein’s C. alternans, which was published on the same page as Coluber capistratus above. 29 Wied’s Beiträge reference was to Coluber pantherinus Daudin (1803, vol. 6: 318 – 321, pl. 77, no. 2 [showing several black-edged reddish dorsal blotches]). Daudin referred to Merrem’s figure of the ‘‘ Zusammengedrückte Natter. Bl [asius]. Merrem, Beytr. naturg. amphib. fasc. 2, p. 49, pl. xi’ ’ [5 Merrem, 1790 (1790 – 1821)]. Subsequently, Merrem (1820: 102), in a work well known to Prince Max, used pantherinus for his ‘‘ Zusammengedrückte Natter, ’’ with references to Daudin (loc. cit.) and to Hermann (1804: 285), who posthumously also had named pantherinus as new. Country of origin was unknown. Some years later, Schlegel (1837, vol. 2: 143, pl. 5) misapplied Daudin’s name C. pantherinus to a Brazilian specimen (‘‘ St. Paul’ ’ 5 São Paulo) of the same species as Wied’s C. lichtensteinii! Remembering that ‘‘ authorities’ ’ in Maximilian’s 1860 catalog were not necessarily original authors, the blank space evidently reflects his uncertainty about the attribution of the name pantherinus. Along with Wied’s C. lichtensteinii, Coluber pantherinus sensu Schlegel (1837, non Daudin) is considered a synonym of Mastigodryas bifossatus (Boulenger, 1896: 10). Coluber pantherinus Daudin is in the synonymy of the North American Elaphe guttata (Boulenger, 1896: 197), although Schmidt (1953: 196) wrongly attributed Daudin’s pantherinus to Merrem (1820). specimen — AMNH R- 3514 ♀, to which had been added at one time an AMNH mammal or bird paper field tag bearing an old card catalog number (588) and the name Coluber pantherinus, obviously taken from Maximilian’s manuscript catalog. Wied gave measurements and scale counts of six specimens, of which one was in Berlin (Lichtenstein’s holotype) and one in Leiden. The relevant Nova Acta and Beitra ¨ ge data for Wied’s specimens (excluding the two in Leiden and Berlin) and the extant AMNH specimen are: From these comparisons alone, it would seem probable that AMNH R- 3514 is Wied’s specimen number 4 above (this is the sixth specimen in Nova Acta and the Beitra ¨ ge). In corroboration, AMNH R- 3514 is clearly the specimen illustrated in color in the Nova Acta plate and again in the Abbildungen (see pl. 29). The dorsal blotch pattern is a good match: The specimen has 44 body blotches + 25 distinct tail blotches 5 69, about the same total in the plates, with the first blotch being confluent with parallel cephalic blotches and with the first five dorsal blotches being detached from the lateral markings. The details of head scutellation are especially convincing. The inherently variable gular scales are a virtually perfect match between specimen and plates; other details include the point contact of each fifth infralabial with a posterior genial. Therefore, the only specimen of this species remaining in the Maximilian collection is clearly a syntype, and the most important one at that. We consequently designate it (AMNH R- 3514) as lectotype of Coluber lichtensteinii Wied, 1824. Several localities are mentioned in the Beitra ¨ ge, but they cannot be matched to specimens. The type locality is the east coast of Brazil.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFCBFFC08CEEFA0EFEA4A531.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: The brief diagnosis in the Reise, repeated (paraphrased) in the Isis, is com- plemented by a good description in the Beitra ¨ ge, with measurements and scale counts, and by an excellent plate in the Abbildungen (see pl. 30). Wied’s only specimen measured 1433 + 354 mm, and had 224 ventrals and 79 subcaudals. AMNH R- 3481, a male, measures 1455 + 373 mm, and has 222 ventrals and 79 subcaudals. Compared with plate 30, the specimen matches the outline drawings of scutellation on the dorsal and ventral sides of the head; the side of the snout of the whole snake is accurate, although the two postoculars are much too long (being better represented in the dorsal outline drawing). The specimen is differentially faded — yellowish over much of the dorsum but brown on parts that presumably were less exposed to light. Inasmuch as Wied stated in the Beitra ¨ ge that he had taken only a single specimen and that the present one agrees closely with the description and plate, AMNH R- 3481 is the holotype beyond doubt. It is shown in his 1860 manuscript catalog as ‘‘ Brachyrrhyton D. B. plumbeum Wied. D. B. ’’ (species no. 156). The type locality (Reise 1: 89 f.) is approximately midway between the Fazenda Campos Novos (the present Tamoios [Bokermann, 1957] at 22 ° 429 S, 42 ° 029 W), and the Rio Sa ˜ o Joa ˜ o, which enters the sea at 22 ° 399 S, 42 ° 019 W.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFD2FFC28CC1FBEBFB66A0B1.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This species was named and diagnosed in the Isis and subsequently discussed in some detail in the Beitra ¨ ge, based on one fresh specimen that was described in the field but which could not be preserved. Hence, there has never been a preserved holotype, and no indication that any other specimens were captured and preserved. Wied stated that the teeth were moderately large (Za ¨ hne mittelma ¨ ssig gross), a subjective assertion said by Gans (1964: 36 – 37) to be a misstatement and probably ‘‘ an error in field examination. ’’ Gans wrote that the length given by Wied was 617 + 131 mm, apparently equating Wied’s measurements with the modern English foot (in which case Gans converted the tail length correctly but not the body length, which should have been 749 mm). Our conversion 5 721 + 126 mm. Wied did not explicitly say where the described specimen came from, only that the species lived in the region of Cabo Frio, Marica, and Sagoarema [Saquarema], and probably also Rio de Janeiro and the river Parahyba. Cabo Rio, the first locality, is usually given as ‘‘ type locality. ’’ The name Coluber dictyodes does not appear in Wied’s 1860 manuscript classification / catalog, but included among seven names under ‘‘ genus 147. Liophis Wagl. ’’ are: 3. Merremii Wied. Brasilien; and 4. reticulata Wied (? L. Merremii var.) Brasilien. We cannot associate the name reticulata with anything described by Wied, and wonder if it might have been a manuscript name that never saw print, or possibly a lapsus for the present name dictyodes.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFD2FFCC8F1AFC18FDF9A711.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This species was diagnosed in the Isis and well depicted in the Abbildungen in 1824, and later well described in the Beitra ¨ ge, including measurements and scale counts for three specimens (one of Wied’s and two in Leiden). There is no doubt as to the specific assignment, and Wied himself noted in the Beitra ¨ ge appendix (p. 600) that his pileatus ‘‘ scheint identisch mit Coluber Olfersii Hempr. oder Col. olivaceus Olf. zu seyn. ’’ And his 1860 manuscript catalog shows it as ‘‘ Dryophis Wagl. olfersii Licht. (Colub. pileatus Wied), ’’ species no. 158. There is only one specimen in the collection, AMNH R- 2801 ♀, to be compared with Wied’s specimen (no. 1 below) and the two specimens from Leiden (2 – 3). The relevant data are: Although AMNH R- 2801 (fig. 17) is superficially similar to Wied’s illustration (pl. 34), the disagreement in measurements is forbidding. Furthermore, there are substantial differences between the specimen and the ventral outline of the head shown in plate 34: the plate shows on both left and right sides infralabials 1 – 5 in contact with the anterior genials and labials 5 – 6 in contact with the posterior genials (1 – 4 and 4 – 5, respectively, in AMNH R- 2801), nor is there any correspondence in the arrangement of the variously sized gular scales lying between the posterior genials and the anterior ventral plate. AMNH R- 2801 cannot be matched with Wied’s publications and we do not regard it as a type specimen. Whether it was collected by Wied or acquired by him later is not known. The type locality is the ‘‘ Rio Itabapuana’ ’ as given in the Beitra ¨ ge (p. 348) and in Peters and Orjejas-Miranda (1970: 244).	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFDCFFCC8CDFFBFBFB55A2D1.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This species was referred to in the Reise as ‘‘ Cobra verde, ’’ without a Latin name or a diagnostic footnote. The name therefore dates from the 1824 Isis. In the Beitra ¨ ge it is stated that the specimen was not preserved, so there is no point in looking for a holotype. The type locality is loosely designated in the Beitra ¨ ge as ‘‘ Sertong 30 der Capitania da Bahia ’’ [an administrative district] — the bush country of the Captaincy of Bahia; in the 30 ‘‘ Sertong’ ’ was a German phonetic rendering of Sertão (‘‘ bush country’ ’ or ‘‘ wild backcountry’ ’). In Wied’s case, the phrase quoted means Bahia west of the Atlantic forest. Reise, however, there is an exact statement, ‘‘ Os Porcos’ ’ (Porcos, 15 ° 049 S, 41 ° 009 W).	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFDCFFCC8ED7FDA4FBBBA6C5.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This species was diagnosed in the Isis for 1824, carefully described in the Beiträge, and figured with two plates in the Abbildungen. Myers (in Myers and McDowell, 2014: 83 – 89) analyzed the confused cataloging history of specimens assigned to Coluber or Xenodon ‘‘ rhabdocephalus ’’ (an old emendation) in the American Museum and designated the only surviving syntype (AMNH R- 3609) as lectotype. Although the old AMNH catalog locality for this specimen was ‘‘ Surinam, ’’ it clearly is an illustrated Wied specimen from Brazil. A copy of the Abbildungen painting (without color) and the preserved specimen are compared side by side in figure 18; as earlier noted by Myers (in Myers and McDowell, 2014: 89), allowing for minor copying errors, the match is excellent. The body is too soft to obtain accurate scale counts without further damage to the specimen, but it has an undivided anal plate (with a short tear that should not be mistaken for a division) and 47 pairs of subcaudals; it is in two parts, measuring about 290 mm + 295 mm 5 approximately 585 mm total length, of which about 86 mm (14.7 %) is tail length.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFDDFFCE8EB7F997FE23A609.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This species was diagnosed in the Isis for 1824, figured in the same year in the Abbildungen, and subsequently described in the Beitra ¨ ge. It has long been known that it is the young of Liophis 2. In fact, Wied himself so comments in the Beitra ¨ ge (p. 376); he decided for the individuality of the species based on body proportions, which, however, are well known to vary ontogenetically. Wied gave measurements and scale counts of a single specimen from Barra do Jucu (20 ° 249 S, 40 ° 199 W), and a colored plate with outlines of the head in dorsal and ventral view. No specimen in the collection matches agnosed in the 1824 Isis and illustrated in the same year in the Abbildungen. Smith et al. (1994) assigned it to ‘‘ Heft’ ’ 31 8 of the Abbildungen, but unfortunately used an arbitrary plate number (‘‘ [44] ’’) without awareness that the plates were not originally numbered and that there are two plates of the species in Lieferung 8. Consequently, the ‘‘ original reference’ ’ in opinion 1832 of the International Commision on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1994: 73) is shown as:	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFDEFFCF8CE3FAF1FC6FA6A2.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: The original description of this species usually has been assigned an 1825 date (e. g., Boulenger, 1894: 131; Peters and Orejas- Miranda, 1970: 145; Dixon and Markezich, 1992). It is, however, among the species di- The two extant specimens are AMNH R- 3593 – 3594 (fig. 19), which have retained their color patterns while becoming soft and damaged in preservative; short pieces are missing from the broken tails; the larger specimen is ventrally torn, so that ventrals cannot be accurately counted. Consequently, the measurements and scale counts given above are from an unpublished thesis by A. L. Markezich (1976: 25 – 26), who examined the specimens in the 1970 s (before further deterioration from handling and shipping). A firm decision cannot be reached based on the above table. 32 One must turn to the plates. There 31 Heft (usually the part or issue number of a periodical) often has been used informally or unconsciously, even by librarians, for the Lieferungen delivered over time to subscribers of Maximilian’s Abbildungen. 32 Wied seemingly erred in measuring his largest specimen. A calculated tail / total length ratio of 0.277 is much higher than known for the species. Dixon and Markezich (1992: 134) gave a range of 0.129 – 0.224 for some 700 specimens throughout the geographic range. are in the Abbildungen two plates containing Coluber poecilogyrus. One (pl. 33) contains a single adult, with a colored view of the whole snake, and dorsal and ventral outlines of the head. The other plate is a composite that contains a subadult Coluber poecilogyrus in color (fig. 2 in pl. 32), with out-lines of the head (this plate also shows the types of Coluber merremii and Coluber doliatus). AMNH R- 3593 agrees very well with the adult poecilogyrus in plate 33. The dorsal pattern and the head scalation agree closely (e. g., both the specimen and the drawing have 4 infralabials in contact with the anterior genials on the right, 5 on the left); the ventral pattern seems slightly darker in the specimen than in the figure.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFDEFFCF8CE3FAF1FC6FA6A2.taxon	description	AMNH R- 3594 appears to be the subadult depicted in plate 32, even though the outline drawing of the head in ventral view (particularly in the infrabials) does not match well. That it is the same specimen is indicated by certain peculiarities in the arrangement of the dark rings and the fact that the body is predisposed to bend easily to the shape shown in the plate. Overall, the discrepancies seem minor, and we believe that AMNH R- 3593 and 3594 are the specimens of Coluber poecilogyrus portrayed in the Abbildungen; these two syntypes seem of equal value and nothing is gained by designating one as lectotype. The type locality is Barra do Jucu (20 ° 249 S, 40 ° 199 W). Dixon (1989: 19 – 20), Dixon and Markezich (1992: 132), and Smith et al. (1994) have elaborated on the extensive synonymy of Liophis poecilogyrus (Wied), and the specific name subsequently was conserved by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1996).	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

Wied’s two color plates in the 1822 and 1824 Abbildungen show snakes of very different appearance. The 1822 one (pl. 38) is of a red snake with blackish scale tips and widely spaced pairs of black bands that are narrowly separated from one another and from adjacent red areas by narrow rings of pale yellow. This snake somewhat resembles a ‘‘ group II’ ’ Erythrolamprus aesculapii shown as figure 1 b of Marques and Puorto’s (1991) paper. Wied found his specimen in the vicinity of ‘‘ Villa Vic ¸ oza, am Flusse Peruïpe. ’’ Wied’s 1824 plate (pl. 39), labeled ‘‘ Coluber venustissimus Varietas, ’’ shows a red snake with blackish scale tips and widely separated black rings, which are bordered by narrow, pale grayish rings. This snake is similar to the ‘‘ group II’ ’ snake shown as figure 1 d in Marques and Puorto (1991). No locality was given. Wied remarked on the similarity between this snake and his Elaps [Micrurus] corallinus. There are no specimens in the collection.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

Wied’s species is both a junior synonym and a junior homonym of Merrem’s; they are also based on the same specimens. It was just a case of two friends sharing materials and ideas and publishing without much concern for priority (in the happy days before the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature). Elaps corallinus is listed as species no. 168 in Wied’s manuscript catalog; there are two specimens. Roze (1966) discussed the case and designated AMNH R- 3911 as lectotype of both Merrem’s and Wied’s species, and AMNH R- 3935 as paralectotype of both species. The first is in poor condition, the second in relatively good condition (figs. 20 – 21). There is no way of assigning a type locality: Wied mentions Tiririca (22 ° 539 S, 42 ° 229 W) and Belmonte (15 ° 519 S, 38 ° 549 W). Mu ¨ ller, 1927: 301 restricted the type locality to Rio de Janeiro.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFD9FFCA8ED1FA94FBF7A78C.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Like the preceding, this name also dates from the Nova Acta coral snake paper (usually dated 1820, but see discussion under Prince Maximilian’s Herpetological Publications). This case is very similar to that of Elaps corallinus above, except that this time Merrem and Wied used different names for the same species. The authors decided to honor Marcgrav differently: Wied used the patronymn marcgravii, Merrem the aboriginal name ibiboboca that Marcgrav had adopted for the snake. Elaps marcgravii is shown as species no. 169 in Wied’s manuscript catalog; there are two specimens in the collection. Roze (1966), concluded that AMNH R- 3937 is the holotype of both ibiboboca and marcgravii because ‘‘ it has practically the same ventral and subcaudal counts (210 and 24 [Roze’s counts]) as mentioned by Merrem, and by Wied (210 and 23). ’’ This specimen is 755 + 54 5 809 mm total length. The type locality (only a single locality was given) is the mouth of the Rio Belmonte, now Jequitinhonha, at 15 ° 519 S, 38 ° 539 W. Roze did not give data on the other specimen, which is AMNH R- 3998. It is a female measuring 543 + 37 mm, with 208 ventrals and 19 subcaudals.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFA4FFB48F3DFCDBFB75A5DE.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: In the first volume of the Reise Wied mentions incidentally a green viper. In the ‘‘ corrections and additions’ ’ at the end of the second volume, explicitly referring to that page and that viper, Wied presents a formal description. In the Abbildungen a good plate is given of the whole animal. In the Beitra ¨ ge measurements and scale counts are presented of the Wied specimen and of an additional specimen in a Dutch collection. The type measured 554 + 79 mm, had 208 ventrals and 66 subcaudals. AMNH R- 4006, a male, measures 505 + 80 mm, and has 208 ventrals; the caudals cannot now be counted. We conclude that AMNH R- 4006 is the holotype.

290287EFFFA4FFB48CC5FD6DFB31A06B.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: The several places in the Reise where Wied mentions the jararaca are incidental and without systematic value. In fact, he refers to it either as ‘‘ jararakka’ ’ or Cophias atrox. In the Isis for 1824 the entry is ‘‘ C [ophias]. atrox Merr. Die Jararakka. ’’ The change of opinion came after the plate (see pl. 45) for Lieferung 7 of the Abbildungen had already been printed: this plate, of a young specimen (‘‘ pullus’ ’), is entitled ‘‘ Cophias atrox ’’ and the text is headed ‘‘ Cophias jararaca ... aus der Kupfertafel Cophias atrox. ’’ The text has a footnote reference to a second plate (pl. 46), of an adult specimen, appearing in Lieferung 8 (for which there is no separate text, at least not in the AMNH copy of the Abbildungen). But both specimens are described in the text to Lieferung 7. This text and the plates comprise the original description of Cophias jararaca and the specimens figured are the original syntypes. In the Beitra ¨ ge Wied used the German spelling of Jararakka and gave data on the two syntypes and on two additional specimens. In the collection there is one specimen, a female, AMNH R- 4025. The relevant data are: AMNH R- 4025 practically coincides with the adult syntype in scale counts, but there is a large and unredeemable difference in length. There seems little chance of a misprint, as the measurements are repeated in the Abbildungen and in the Beitra ¨ ge. Additionally, there is no resemblance to the plates. We must conclude that neither of the syntypes of Cophias jararaca is at hand. In no place is a locality indicated.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFA5FFB68C87FAA1FE54A64A.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This species was formally described in the Reise, based on one specimen from Cabec ¸ a de Boi in Bahia (13 ° 509 S, 39 ° 179 W). In the 1824 Isis the species is mentioned as ‘‘ unbestimmt, ’’ i. e., at best doubtful. In the Beitra ¨ ge, after a description as usual, Wied made some very surprising comments. After he rearranged his argu- ments and observations, Wied concluded that essentially the specimen had disappeared from its bottle, but that the description fitted exactly Coluber rabdocephalus. An error had been made in identifying a colubrid as a viperid (extenuations were offered). Wied saw two alternatives: the snake would be rediscovered, or sunk in the synonymy of C. rabdocephalus. The point may have been germane at the time of writing, but has long since ceased to have any importance, as the name — a nomen oblitum — has fallen into the limbo of indeterminacy. Boulenger (1896: 535), for example, included it in the synonmy of the composite species Lachesis lanceolatus and Peters and Orejas-Miranda (1970: 55) have it as Bothrops incertae sedis (probably atrox, jararaca, or jararacussu).	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFA6FFB78CE3FA08FCBDA0D3.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This name was not indexed by Boulenger (1896) or by Peters and Orejas- Mirand (1970). Dixon and Hendricks (1979: 7), however, probably are correct in suggesting that it is an amphisbaenid of the genus Leposternon. Curiously, the first page of the Beitra ¨ ge account refers to the Abbildungen, with an apparent title (‘‘ Cobra de duas cabec ¸ as an der Ostku ¨ ste von Brasilien’ ’) for a plate perhaps intended but never published. Wied’s (1825: 497) measurements of about (etwa) 15 inches total length and 1.2 inches tail length convert to 367 mm total, 29.3 mm tail length; tail length / total length 5 0.08.

290287EFFFA6FFB78CE3FA08FCBDA0D3.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Wied’s excellent plate has for a long time made it clear that the species is the same as Leposternon microcephalum — a fact evident even to Wied (Beitra ¨ ge: 506). Gans (1971: 445) agreed with AMNH staff 33 that AMNH R- 1101 is the holotype of Amphisbaena punctata, making the following observations: The specimen [AMNH R- 1101] ... was in poor condition but the remaining characteristics were in good agreement with Wied’s description. There can thus be little doubt that it represents the holotype, that the type locality is Rio de Janeiro, ... and that the name punctata is a strict synonym of microcephalum. Unfortunately, examination of the old AMNH book catalog gives no support for the locality ‘‘ Rio de Janeiro, ’’ which was added in a different hand and at a later time than the original entry — possibly a supposition from the fact that Rio de Janeiro is the first locality mentioned in the Abbildungen text and in the Beitra ¨ ge. It is species number 73 from ‘‘ Brasilien’ ’ in Wied’s manuscript catalog (which never gives explicit localities), and the type locality therefore is simply eastern Brazil. Although the date of publication is usually given as 1825 for Wied’s Amphisbaena punctata (e. g., Peters and Donoso-Barros, 1970: 168; Gans, 1971: 451), it was acually diagnosed in the 1824 Isis, the same year in which Wagler described Leposternon microcephalum from Spix’s collection (Wagler’s work ‘‘ was published no later than January 1824 ’’ fide Adler, 1981: v). Wied (1825: 506), however, felt that he had priority, stating definitely that Spix 33 After earlier stating that the holotype was not at AMNH with other Wied types and was probably lost (Gans, 1967: 82), it was called to his attention by Senior Technician George Foley, who played an important role in managing and conserving the AMNH herpetological collection over a 30 - year period (Myers, 2000: 103 – 104). (i. e., Wagler, 1824) 34 described L. microcephalum after seeing the printed plate and respective text of A. punctata. (But he did not make clear whether these were shown to Spix as a preprint or shortly after publication, which would have been well after the appearance of Wagler’s 1824 description of Spix’s specimen].) Wied went on to criticize the color plate that Spix — ‘‘ the learned traveller’ ’ (der gelehrte Reisende) — had published (Wagler, 1824, pl. 26, fig. 2 – 4). Wied noted that Spix’s specimen had probably been bleached in alcohol, whereas his own painting had been made from a fresh individual. Years later, in writing up the manuscript catalog of his collection, Wied accepted the genus Leposternon but maintained punctata with his authorship: Genus 77. Lepidosternon Wagl. 1. punctatus Wied. Brasilien (no. 73) It is our opinion that Wied’s claim may have moral value but no legal strength. Wied’s unused name Amphisbaena punctata is by now a nomen oblitum and could be used only if considered not synonymous with microcephalum.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFA1FFB18CC4FEC3FD04A195.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Prince Maximilian was impressed by the voice of the ‘‘ blacksmith’ ’ frog, mentioning in the Beitra ¨ ge that he was impatient to become acquainted with the frog itself, and had his Brazilian workers collect some with the aid of burning torches. For the species name, he chose the Latin noun faber — meaning an artisan or workman. The reason for the name was laid down in the first volume of his ‘‘ Travels’ ’ (Reise 1: 173): Not far from the fazenda [de Aga´], a high rounded, isolated mountain named Morro de Aga´ rises from the nearby forest ... I found near the buildings a small swamp, where I first heard with astonishment the distinctive voice of a frog previously unknown to me. It sounded exactly like a tin- or coppersmith working with his hammer, only the sound altogether was deeper or fuller. I later became better acquainted with the animal, which the Portuguese call the Smith (Ferreiro) because of its voice. Wied mentioned the Ferreiro at Rio de Contas in the second volume (Reise 2: 241). The formal description of Hyla faber came a few pages later in a footnote in Reise 2, in a discussion of fauna at ‘‘ Fazenda von S. Agnés’ ’ (5 Santa Ineˆs), which Mu ¨ ller (1927: 265) and Bokermann (1966 a: 50) appropriately considered as type locality. The type locality of Hyla faber was shared with the smaller Hyla aurata (see below), which was named on the same page. Wied made field paintings of both species on the same leaf of paper, as shown in Bosch (1991: 270 – 271, item 107 35). Because H. aurata was found only at S. Agne´s (Santa Ineˆs), the joined field paintings seem to confirm the locality of the painted specimen of H. faber (see pl. 49). He confirmed in the Abbildungen text account that H. faber was found in the company of H. aurata in pools at S. Agne´s. He summarized his observations on distribution in the Beitra ¨ ge, based more on the distinctive call of H. faber than on collections. There are no specimens in the collection and Hyla faber is not listed in Wied’s 1860 manuscript catalog, indicating that his specimens had disappeared before the catalog was written.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFA1FFB38F32FD64FE12A287.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Hyla punctata Wied, 1824, is a junior homonym of Calamita punctata Schneider (1799: 170 – 172), which had been transferred to Hyla within a few years of its naming (Daudin, 1802: 41 – 42). Its replacement name is Hyla infulata Wied (see below). The painting (see pl. 49) shows a small green frog sparsely dotted with black on the body, with a dark canthal stripe, and with a brown interocular bar, from which a paler brown marking extends medially forward to the snout. Wied noted that it was ‘‘ in der Gegend der Fazenda von Vareda unweit der Gra ¨ nzen von Minas Gerae ¨ s gefunden. ’’ The accompanying text gives no reference to an authority (hence, following Wied’s usual style, it is to be taken as a new species) and no page citations to Wied’s own works. Few workers have noticed that, except for 35 The Bosch editors misidentified the H. aurata illustration as ‘‘ Hyla punctata ’’ in the explanatory text. The H. aurata was later repainted to go on an Abbildungen plate containing two other small hylids (see pl. 51), whereas H. punctata was inserted between dorsal and ventral views of H. faber (see pl. 49). The field sketch in Bosch (1991: 271, 323) shows only the dorsal view of H. faber, the markings of which were accurately copied by Hermann Beckers for the published plate, although the ground color now differs somewhat. Beckers’ layout for the entire plate also is shown in Bosch (1991: 323). 2015 VANZOLINI AND MYERS: PRINCE MAXIMILIAN 71 some rephrasing, the text description of Hyla punctata in the Abbildungen is virtually identical to the later Beitra ¨ ge description for Hyla infulata. The same length (‘‘ 11 a Linien’ ’) was given for each, the same collecting situation (on leaves of Ricinus 36), and the same vernacular name — ’’ Punctirter Laubkleber’ ’ (‘‘ dotted leafsticker’ ’), with the qualifier ‘‘ mit der Stirnbinde’ ’ (‘‘ with the headband’ ’) added in the Beitra ¨ ge account. The name Hyla punctata of Wied makes its first appearance in the Abbildungen and only once more in the Beitra ¨ ge, where Wied stated 36 Ricinus, the treelike castor bean or castor oil plant, thought to have originated in Africa and evidently a very early introduction to the New World. in the appendix that he had named the frog Hyla infulata, because ‘‘ der Name punctata kann nich bestehen’ ’ (‘‘ the name punctata can not stand’ ’), since he had discovered a previous use. 37 According to Bokermann (1966 a: 52 – 53), Wied issued a substitute page of Abbildungen text with the replacement name Hyla infulata. The corrected page is lacking in the AMNH copy of the Abbildungen. Rarity of the corrigendum and inattention to the Beitra ¨ ge appendix explains why only a few authors such as Boulenger (1882: 356) and Bokermann (1966 a: 59) have recognized 37 Wied said that Shaw had already used the name. We have not seen that reference, but it is immaterial inasmuch as Hyla punctata (Schneider) already had priority over Wied’s name. that Wied’s punctata was intended as a new species description and that Hyla infulata is the replacement name. (Frost [2002] recognized both the validity of the description and the homonymity with Schneider’s name, and placed Hyla punctata Wied as incertae sedis under the Hylinae.) Further remarks are given under Hyla infulata below.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFA3FFB38CF2FE77FBA9A746.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: In 1824, this species was diagnosed in the Isis of 1824 and portrayed in the Abbildungen; a single specimen was subsequently described in the Beitra ¨ ge, preceded by the diagnosis copied from the Isis. Although several localities were mentioned (see below), there is nothing written to indicate that Wied actually preserved more than one specimen, although it seems probable that he did. It is species no. 300 in Wied’s 1860 manuscript catalog, represented by one specimen in the collection, AMNH A- 785. Duellman (1977: 48) assumed that there originally had been more than one specimen and cited AMNH A- 785 as a syntype, which was accepted by Kluge (1979: 10), who subsequently designated it as lectotype. In the absence of a known type series, this specimen might also have been regarded as holotype, but we accept the lectotype designation on practical grounds. The specimen (fig. 27) is in poor condition, very soft, with the rear of the body nearly separated and with the limbs detached or nearly so. Reasonably accurate measuring of such a flabby, broken specimen is now impossible, but, in 2003, Myers measured the specimen at ‘‘ roughly 62 mm SVL, ’’ prior to converting Wied’s measurement to a close 61.1 mm. 38 There is faint indication of 38 Kluge (1979: 10) had much earlier measured this specimen at 66.0 mm SVL, which could be repeated today depending on how the calipers are handled and how much the specimen is stretched or compressed. There are no standards in this process. But Kluge’s conversion of Wied’s 2 Zoll 6 Linien to ‘‘ about 64 mm’ ’ [63.5 mm precisely] was based on the modern foot. a broken dark median line from the snout onto the anterior body; the body is sparsely but conspicuously marked with dark dots. The rear of thigh and flank have dark vertical bars, which on close inspection are seen to be doubled as seen in Wied’s 1824 illustration (see pl. 50). The plate shows an overall coloring of light and darker gray, with an interrupted dark median line and with narrow double black bars on the flank and posterior thighs, and a reddish suffusion on the flank and parts of the hind limbs. In the Beitra ¨ ge, Wied said that he had found this ‘‘ wide-jumping fast leafsticker’ ’ (weitspringende schnelle Laubkleber) in the vicinity of the old fazenda Tamburil [Tamboril] in the backcountry of Bahia. It seems most likely that Wied would have kept his first specimen, and, since only one specimen (the ‘‘ lectotype’ ’) is definitely known to have been preserved, Tamboril (14 ° 589 S, 41 ° 259 W) can be assumed to be the actual type locality, as believed by Bokermann (1966 a: 48). Wied also found the species in March in the marshes and pools between Arrayal da Conquista and Jiboya. He described the call as a loud Knaken similar to the breaking of a piece of wood. As indicated by Kluge (1979: 11), the frogs being called ‘‘ Hyla crepitans ’’ in Panama and Colombia probably are not conspecific with Prince Maximilian’s Brazilian species.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFA3FFBD8F0AFB38FE43A2A0.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This elegant little frog was diagnosed in the Isis of 1824 and illustrated in the Abbildungen, before being described in the Beitra ¨ ge. Wied saw this frog, sticking to leaves, at only one place. The type locality, given in the Abbildungen and Beitra ¨ ge, is Ponte do Gentio, Rio Alcobac ¸ a at 17 ° 309 S, 39 ° 259 W (Vanzolini, 1992: 133). The holotype, AMNH A- 784 (fig. 28), is in poor condition, having lost a large patch of dorsal skin and with limbs falling off; it is a female with a large decomposed and solidified egg mass. A measurement in 2003 gave 30 mm SVL, essentially the same as Wied’s converted 29.3 mm. As can be seen from figure 28, the color pattern is virtually extinct. Duellman (1974: 18) probably inferred the existence of an ‘‘ hourglass-shaped dark brown dorsal mark on a creamy tan ground color’ ’ more from the Abbildungen plate than from this very faded specimen. If the specimen is kept in alcohol and examined under a dissecting scope, with proper light adjustment, vestiges of several markings paler than adjacent skin can be discerned, as follow: (1) a pale triangular area atop the snout in front of eyes; (2) a broad pale dorsolateral stripe extends from the eye posteriad at least past midbody; (3) hint of a pale line atop tibia. These several pale areas are obviously remnants of the color pattern shown in plate 51. Ventrally, the skin at least of the belly is strongly granular, as indicated in the plate. The coloration of the preserved frog in the Abbildungen plate may have come from Wied’s field sketch of another specimen (thought by him to be a male) that he painted in life, perched on a leaf (colored inset in Bosch, 1991: 232). This is species no. 298 in Wied’s 1860 manuscript catalog, where it is listed in one place (p. 50) as ‘‘ H. elegans Wied (? leucophyllata D. B.) ’’ and in another place (p. 79) as ‘‘ Hyla elegans W (H. leucophyllata Holbr.?). ’’ The species was synonymized with Hyla leucophyllata (Beireis) by Gu ¨ nther (1858: 112), where it remained for a long time. Bertha Lutz (1973: 103) had examined the holotype at AMNH and, although she did not disturb the synonymy, she directly associated the name elegans with the ‘‘ southern form’ ’ of leucophyllata, which she described in useful detail. 39 Caramaschi and Jim (1982) mentioned distinguishing characters and resurrected Wied’s Hyla elegans after more than 150 years of synonymy.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFADFFBE8CCAFB32FDEFA640.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: Wied referred to the Abbildungen on the first page of the Beitra ¨ ge account of Hyla infulata, which has to be the plate (pl. 49) originally labeled Hyla punctata (q. v.). Hyla infulata is Wied’s replacement name for the 39 Lutz was somewhat ambivalent — although she did not explicitly give species status to Hyla elegans, neither did she put the name in the list of synonyms in her appendix B. In discussing the holotype (AMNH 784), Lutz mentioned two speciesmen numbers, of which one is an error (‘‘ Maximilian 219 ’’) and the other correct (Maximilian 298). There is also an old AMNH bird or mammal tag in the jar bearing the number ‘‘ 15, ’’ probably an old card number predating the first amphibian book catalog. preoccupied punctata, as discussed under that name above. Both names share identical authorship and year of publication, punctata from the 1824 Abbildungen plate, and infulata from the 1824 Isis. In the Beitra ¨ ge, Wied noted that he had found Hyla infulata ‘‘ Im Sertong der Capitanía da Bahía, ’’ but he did not give a precise locality there or in the earlier Isis, leading authors (e. g., Cochran, 1955: 164) to the conclusion that the ‘‘ type locality [was] not given. ’’ However, the type locality is that given under the original name Hyla punctata (see above) — the vicinity of Fazenda von Vareda near the border of Minas Gerais. Bokermann (1957: 236) thought that the locality was about 30 km from the Barra de Vereda, and later (1966: 52) give it as ‘‘‘ Fazenda da Vareda’ Inhobim, Bahia. ’’	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFADFFBE8CCAFB32FDEFA640.taxon	description	Neither name, Hyla punctata nor Hyla infulata, appears in Wied’s manuscript catalog. There are, however, two specimens of Hyla albomarginata (AMNH A- 498, 499) cataloged as from Rio de Janeiro and purportedly from the Maximilian collection; these seem to have never been identified even to genus (there is no sign of original catalog entry or subsequent erasure) until they were determined as H. albomarginata by Doris M. Cochran in 1942; they are in remarkably fine condition. One specimen is an adult 52 mm SVL. The other (AMNH A- 499) is a juvenile 23.8 mm SVL, with a superficial resemblance to Wied’s Hyla punctata (pl. 49). Presumably green in life, AMNH R- 499 has faded to whitish, with scattered black dots dorsally and with a narrow brownish interorbital bar and an isolated anterior spot of the same color between the nares. In addition to the incomplete head marking, it differs noticeably from Wied’s painting in (1) possessing a conspicuous pale dorsolateral fold extending from the eye and above the ear to the anterior flank (absent in the painting), and (2) having the canthus and loreal region uniformly pale like the rest of the body (vs. a dark canthal stripe in the painting). These differences and the cataloged locality remove the specimen from consideration as holotype, which probably no longer exists. Furthermore, it seems unlikely that the aforesaid specimens of Hyla albomarginata (AMNH A- 498, 499) were collected by Wied. Compared with the few surviving frogs that can definitely be associated with Wied’s Brazilian expedition, these two specimens seem much too well preserved. They were entered in volume 1 of the 1920 AMNH amphibian catalog, presumably from earlier card catalogs; several other amphibians on the same page are listed as having been collected at Rio de Janeiro by other collectors (L. Diguet, H. H. Rusby). We suspect that either there has been a cataloging error that can no longer be corrected, or that Wied acquired the specimens by purchase or exchange long after his expedition.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFAEFFBF8F24FB65FDF0A2CB.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: We find the name Rana pacybrachion only in the 1824 Isis. Wied subsquently decided that the specimen represent- ed Rana pachypus Spix, which was the name used in the 1825 Beitra ¨ ge (see following species). This is obvious because the same vernacular name (‘‘ der dickarmige Frosch’ ’) and, especially, the same diagnosis are used both for pacybrachion and for pachypus. 40 Sapo is both Portuguese and Spanish, being defined as ‘‘ toad’ ’ in dictionaries. Nonetheless, the word also is very commonly used for various kinds of frogs throughout much of the New World tropics. Bokermann (1966 a: 90) picked up the name pacybrachion but did not catch that it was identical with pachypus. Bokermann suspected that pacybrachion ‘‘ 5? Leptodactylus, ’’ and listed the type locality simply as ‘‘ Brasil. ’’ However, Wied (Beitra ¨ ge: 544) obtained his specimens of Rana pachypus on the rivers Espirito Santo and Jucu, which therefore delimit the type-locality possibilities for his identical Rana pacybrachion.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

In response to a query from Heyer, Vanzolini used his method (described herein) for converting Wied’s measurements to mm, after which Heyer (in e-mail to Myers, July 12, 2002) plotted the head length against SVL for a few C. aurita specimens, including a single 66 mm juvenile. The data point for the 44 mm SVL R. macrocephala falls right on the line for head length measured as length from tip of snout to the head-body joint mid-dorsally. Good enough to satisfy my curiosity as Wied’s name appeared a year later than Raddi’s Bufo auitus. The type locality is Lagoa da Arara on the lower Rio Mucuri.

Heyer (1978: 30) notethat, of species along coastal Bahia, Wied’s figure can only apply to Leptodactylus fuscus as currently recognized. Heyer examined the specimen, noting that it was a male with obvious vocal sacs and concluding that ‘‘ There is no convincing evidence that associates or disassociates AMNH A- 485 with Wied-Neuwied’s figure. ’’ Direct comparison of AMNH A- 485 against the Abbildungen plate reveals that the dorsolateral lines are less distinct in the specimen and that there are too many differences in arrangement and shape of the lateral dark blotches for it to have been the one painted. We consider AMNH A- 485 as the sole surviving syntype of Rana sibilatrix Wied. Either it or the lost specimen depicted in the painting could be designated lectotype, but there should be a taxonomic reason in either case. The type locality is the East Coast (Ostküste) of Brazil. Several localities are mentioned in the Abbildungen text and the Beitra ¨ ge, of which Mu ¨ ller (1927: 281) considered the first mentioned (Villa Vic ¸ oza) to be type locality. Wied’s original pen-and-watercolor sketch of Rana sibilatrix is reproduced in Bosch (1991: 273), shown positioned above two toads (Bufo cinctus); this sketch was copied by Beckers (Bosch, 1991: 270, item 108) for the Abbildungen plate that shows Rana sibilatrix below Hyla crepitans (pl. 50). The reason for the shifting of figures can be deduced from the Bosch catalog (1991: 272, item 109), where it is shown that Wied’s original name for the plate was to be ‘‘ Hyla sibilatrix ’’ (another name shown, ‘‘ Rana 9 - carinata ’’ appears to be an earlier entry), which was changed to Rana sibilatrix when the Abbildungen text was printed (see comment in caption for pl. 50).	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

Wied was impressed by the giant toads and preserved some, but he mentions losing specimens on page 554 of the Beitra ¨ ge. No South American Bufo species currently exists in Prince Maximilian’s collection and only one (see Bufo ornatus below) is mentioned in his 1860 manuscript catalog.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFA8FFB98F00F9DAFE44A0F1.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This name appears twice in Wied. First in Reise 1 as a new species: ‘‘ ich eine wahrscheinlich noch unbeschriebene Art (Bufo bimaculatus), mit zwey grossen dunkeln Feldern auf dem Ru ¨ cken, bemerkte. ’’ Second in the Beitra ¨ ge, where he concluded that it was a variety of Bufo agua (see preceding account). The name is misspelled as ‘‘ the bufo limaculatus’ ’ in an English translation (Wied, 1820). The type locality is Inoa ˜ (‘‘ Inua´ ’’), Serra de Inoa ˜, given by Bokermann (1966 a: 18) as being in Município de Marica´, Rio de Janeiro. There is no specimen in the collection. Although Bokermann (1966 a: 18) assigned the wrong date to Bufo bimaculatus Wied, he recognized that it has clear priority over B. ictericus Spix. Few other authors have noticed the name bimaculatus, which clearly is a forgotten name; it is not mentioned, for example, either in Hoogmoed and Gruber (1983) or in Frost (2002), and it should be considered a nomen oblitum.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

290287EFFFA9FFB98CEEFC45FD19A216.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: The name Bufo fuliginosus — ’’ Die dunkelbraune Kröte’ ’ — dates from the 1824 Isis. Both there and in the Beitra ¨ ge, Wied gave an earlier reference to page 52 of his 1820 Reise, where there is only Bufo bimaculatus (see above), later called ‘‘ die zweifleckige Kro ¨ te’ ’ on page 555 of the Beitra ¨ ge. It seems likely that Wied confused color morphs of the same species and that he was discombobulated by later loss of specimens. Bufo fuliginosus is listed as Bufonidae incertae sedis by Frost (2002), but Bokermann (1966 a: 20) presumably was correct in allocating it to Bufo ictericus. Wied’s firstmentioned locality for fuliginosus in the Beitra ¨ ge was ‘‘ Serra de Inoa ˜, ’’ leading Bokermann (loc. cit.) to arbitrarily assign the type locality of B. bimaculatus as the shared type locality of B. fuliginosus.	en	Vanzolini, Paulo E., Myers, Charles W.

Terminology is consistent with the 1999 International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, chapter 6 in Blackwelder (1967), and cited opinions of the International Commission. The order of species presentation is that of the Beitra ¨ ge.
