            <p> JAPALURA GRAY, 1853</p>
            <p> Etymology: The Latin name ‘  Japalura ’ may be derived from a locality name in India, and the term is feminine gender. We suggest the English common name as ‘Himalayan Dragon’, and the Chinese name as ‘攀蜥’ (pronounced as ‘Pan-Xi’). </p>
            <p> Type species:  Japalura variegata, Gray, 1853 . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis: Lizards of the genus  Japalura sensu stricto differ from closely related genera by possessing the following morphological characteristics: (1) head width moderate, HW mostly &lt;70% of HL; (2) nuchal and dorsal crest scales relatively low and thick, not significantly elongated into lanceolate spines, CL/HL&lt;10%; (3) post-orbital and post-occipital spines absent; (4) gular scales mostly homogeneous in size; (5) size of scales on lateral jaw subequal in size across gular region; (6) dorsal scale significantly heterogeneous in size and shape, not regularly imbricate; (7) pair of distinctively enlarged, conical scales on nape above shoul- der absent; (8) paravertebral rows of enlarged scales present on dorsolateral body; and (9) V-shaped ridges present along dorsal midline, formed by enlarged, keeled scales. </p>
            <p> Phylogenetic definition: We define  Japalura sensu stricto using the maximum crown-clade definition, which includes species that share a more recent common ancestor to  Japalura veriegata than  Draco volans or  Ptyctolaemus gularis . </p>
            <p> Included species: Based on our phylogenetic results, we assign the following species to the genus  Japalura sensu stricto :  J. andersoniana ,  J. kumaonensis ,  J. tricarinata and  J. variegata . Following our morphological results and proposed morphological diagnoses, we also assign  J. dasi ,  J. major and  J. sagittifera into this genus, pending future phylogenetic studies. </p>
            <p> Geographic distribution: Members of the genus are distributed along the southern foothills of the Himalayas, including north-eastern Pakistan (  J. kumaonensis and  J. major ), northern and north-eastern India (  J. andersoniana ,  J. kumaonensis ,  J. major ,  J. sagittifera ,  J. tricarinata and  J. variegata ), Nepal (  J. dasi ,  J. tricarinata and  J. variegata ), Bhutan (  J. andersoniana ,  J. tricarinata and  J. variegata ), southern parts of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China (  J. andersoniana and  J. tricarinata ), and northern part of Myanmar (  J. sagittifera ). Congeners may also be found in north-western Bangladesh (Fig. 5). </p>

            <p> CRISTIDORSA</p>
            <p> WANG, DEEPAK, DATTA-ROY, LIN, JIANG, CHE &amp; SILER  GEN. NOV.</p>
            <p> Etymology: The Latin term ‘  Cristidorsa ’ means ‘ridged dorsum’, which describes the distinct, characteristic ridges on the dorsal surface of the body in the new genus. The generic name is feminine and it consists of two parts, namely ‘  Cristi -’ (meaning ‘ridged’) and ‘- dorsa ’ (meaning ‘dorsum’). We suggest the English common name as ‘Ridged Dragons’ and the Chinese name as ‘棱背蜥’ (pronounced as ‘Leng-Bei-Shi’). </p>
            <p> Type species:  Cristidorsa otai (Mahony, 2009) . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis: Lizards of the genus ‘  Cristidorsa ’ differ from other closely related  Draconinae genera by having the following morphological characteristics: (1) head robust and relatively wide, HW/HL mostly&gt;70%; (2) scales of lateral head keeled; (3) nuchal and dorsal crest feeble, CL/HL&lt;5%; (4) post-occipital and post-orbital spines absent; (5) gular scales mostly homogeneous in size; (6) size of scales on lateral jaw subequal in size across gular region; (7) single pair of distinctively enlarged conical scales present on nape above shoulder, one scale on each side of vertebral crest; (8) dorsal scale significantly heterogeneous in sizes and shapes; (9) distinct, dorsolateral rows of enlarged, keeled scales present on dorsum; and (10) V-shaped ridges present along dorsal midline, formed by enlarged, keeled scales. </p>
            <p> Phylogenetic definition: We define  Cristidorsa using the maximum crown-clade definition, which includes species that share a more recent common ancestor with  Cristidorsa otai than with  Salea horsfieldii . </p>
            <p> Included species: Based on our phylogenetic results, we assign  C. otai and  C. planidorsata to the genus  Cristidorsa . </p>
            <p> Geographic distribution: Members of the genus  Cristidorsa are distributed on the south-east extreme of the Himalayan foothills, including north-east India (  C. otai and  C. planidorsata ), and the north-west part of Myanmar [  C. otai ; see discussion on taxonomic status of the Myanmar population below (Fig. 5)]. </p>

        <div>
            <p> DIPLODERMA HALLOWELL, 1861</p>
            <p> Etymology: The Latin generic name ‘  Diploderma ’ consists of two parts, ‘ Diplo -’ means ‘double’ or ‘many’, and ‘- derma ’ means ‘skin’, and the whole word is in a neuter gender. As the previous generic name ‘  Japalura ’ and most species names of the genus s.l. are feminine, most names of species that are now assigned to  Diploderma need their gender changed to neutral (except for existing neutral-gender names like  brevipes or  flaviceps, Latin nouns like  vela or names derived from peoples’ names, i.e.  dymondi ,  luei ,  makii ,  swinhonis ,  varcoae and  zhaoermii ). We suggest the English common name of the genus as ‘Mountain Dragon’, and the Chinese common name as ‘龙蜥’ (pronounced as ‘Long-Xi’). </p>
            <p> Type species:  Diploderma polygonatum Hallowell, 1861 . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis: Lizards of the genus  Diploderma differ from closely related genera by having the following morphological characteristics: (1) scales of lateral head keeled; (2) nuchal and dorsal crest scales relatively short and thick, not elongated into lanceolate spines, CL/HL mostly &lt;10%; (3) post-occipital and post-orbital spines absent; (4) gular scales mostly homogeneous in size, not decreasing in size toward the centre; (5) scales on lateral jaw subequal in size across gular region; (6) dorsal scale significantly heterogeneous in size and shape, not regularly imbricate; (7) paravertebral dorsolateral ridges of body present in most species, formed by enlarged, keeled scales (except in  D. swinhonis and  D. leui ); and (8) V-shaped ridges along dorsal body midline absent in all but one species (except in  D. swinhonis ). </p>
            <p> Phylogenetic definition: We define  Diploderma using the maximum crown-clade definition, which includes species that share a more recent common ancestor with  Diploderma polygonatum than with  Pseudocalotes tymanistriga and  Acanthosaura lepidogaster . </p>
            <p> Included species: Based on our phylogenetic results, we assign the following species into the genus  Diploderma :  D. batangense ,  D. brevipes ,  D. chapaense ,  D. dymondi ,  D. flaviceps ,  D. laeviventre ,  D. luei ,  D. makii ,  D. micangshanense ,  D. polygonatum (and all of its subspecies),  D. slowinskii ,  D. splendidum ,  D. swinhonis ,  D. varcoae ,  D. vela ,  D. yulongense ,  D. yunnanense and  D. zhaoermii . </p>
            <p> According to our proposed morphological diagnoses, we also assign  Diploderma brevicaudum ,  D. fasciatum ,  D. grahami ,  D. hamptoni and  D. iadinum to this genus, pending on future phylogenetic confirmations. In total, 24 species of  Japalura s.l. are reclassified into the genus  Diploderma (for discussion on the taxonomic status of  D. ngoclinense see below). </p>
            <p> Geographic distribution: Members of the genus are distributed across mainland East Asia, East Asian islands and northern Indochina, including central, southern and south-western Mainland China (  D. batangense ,  D. brevicaudum ,  D. chapaense ,  D. dymondi ,  D. fasciatum ,  D. flaviceps ,  D. grahami ,  D. iadinum ,  D. laeviventre ,  D. micangshanense ,  D. slowinskii ,  D. splendidum ,  D. vela ,  D. yulongense ,  D. yunnanense and  D. zhaoermii ) and Taiwan (  D. brevipes ,  D. luei ,  D. makii ,  D. polygonatum and  D. swinhonis ), the southern islands of Japan (  D. polygonatum ), central and eastern Myanmar (  D. hamptoni ), northern Vietnam (  D. fasciatum and  D. chapaense ) and northern Thailand (  D. yunnanense ). Congeners such as  D. yunnanense may also be distributed in Myanmar and northern Laos close to the Chinese border (Fig. 5). </p>

            <p> Type species:  Pseudocalotes tympanistriga (Gray, 1831) . </p>
            <p> Diagnosis:  Pseudocalotes can be diagnosed from other  Draconinae genera by having: (1) scales of lateral head smooth, especially loreal and subocular region; (2) scales of lateral jaw enlarged; (3) scales of central gular region distinctively smaller than others of throat; (4) sub-orbital scale row usually one, or multiple but with the middle one significantly enlarged; (5) post-orbital and post-occipital spines absent; (6) nuchal crest scales mostly elongated and tall, CL/HL mostly&gt;10%; (7) dorsal crest scales feeble and low; (8) dorsal body scales heterogeneous in size and shape; (9) enlarged dorsal body scales not arranged in paravertebral, dorsolateral or V-shaped ridges. </p>
            <p> Phylogenetic definition: We define  Pseudocalotes using the maximum crown-clade definition, which includes species that share a more recent common ancestor with  Pseudocalotes tympanistriga than with  Diploderma polygonatum and  Acanthosaura lepidogaster . </p>

            <p> Cristidorsa</p>
            <p> For congeners from Myanmar, both our morphological and molecular data support the previous hypothesis that Myanmar populations of  Cristidorsa cf. planidorsata were misidentified, and are, in fact,  C. otai . When discussing the taxonomy of Myanmar populations of  C. planidorsata (considered as  J. planidorsata ), Mahony (2009) stated specifically that the only available specimen (juvenile) of  C. planidorsata examined from Myanmar resembled the morphology of  C.otai . However, given the lack of access to adult specimens from Myanmar, Mahony (2009) conservatively treated the Myanmar population as  C. cf. planidorsata , but called for further investigation on the taxonomic status of these populations. Based on our data, the individuals of previously identified  C. cf. planidorsata from Myanmar are not monophyletic with respect to the topotypic  C. planidorsata , but instead, form a monophyletic group with topotypic  C. otai from north-east India (Fig. 2, clade G). In addition, the morphological characteristics of the Myanmar populations match the diagnoses of  C. otai and differ from  C. planidorsata , including having flattened and posteriorly pointing conical scales on the temporal region of the head, shorter body lengths TRL 41.8–47.4% SVL, longer tails TAL 154.6–190.8% SVL, and shorter lip-stripes ending anterior to the limb insertion (Mahony, 2009). Therefore, we diagnose the Myanmar populations of  C. cf. planidorsata as  C. otai , and recommend that records of the former species in Myanmar be corrected to represent the latter. </p>

            <p> Within  Japalura , relationships of sampled taxa are largely resolved (Fig. 2). Interestingly, despite morphological similarity between  J. kumaonensis and  J. tricarinata (Wang et al., 2018b) ,  J. kumaonensis is most closely related to  J. variegata (0.99/69; Fig. 2). As many of the Himalayan regions lack detailed surveys for  Japalura diversity, including north-east India, Bhutan, Nepal, and north-western Bangladesh, many congeners are still poorly studied. In fact, several recognized species are known from a few vouchered specimens only with no genetic samples (e.g.  J. dasi ,  J. major and  J. sagittifera ). Not only may these remote regions harbour undescribed diversity, but also, given the wide variation in ornamentation observed among populations (Bhosale, Das &amp; Manthey, 2013; Wang et al. 2018a), understudied taxa such as  J. andersoniana ,  J. kumaonensis ,  J. tricarinata and  J. variegata may represent species complexes and contain cryptic diversity. Future research should focus on the collection of additional, vouchered genetic data of these poorly studied lineages and close examination of  Japalura populations across the Himalayan region. </p>

            <p> Diploderma</p>
            <p> Recently, Ananjeva et al. (2007) described a new species of  Japalura ,  J. ngoclinensis , on the basis of three female specimens collected from the central highlands of Vietnam, far outside of the range of  Japalura s.l. recognized at the time. Although there are no genetic data available for the species, we can assign it to the genus  Diploderma based on our revised morphological diagnosis. The issue that remains is in regard to the taxonomic validity of  D. ngoclinense . Despite the fact that the type specimens of the species are morphologically most similar to  D. splendidum , a brief comparison was made to the latter species using one morphological characteristic only (Ananjeva et al., 2017). The authors argued that the new species differs from  D. splendidum by the absence of a transverse gular fold (Ananjeva et al., 2017). However, based on the photographs of the type series in the original description, all type specimens of  D. ngoclinense do have a shallow transverse gular fold (particularly distinct on the paratype, VNMH 3110) (Ananjeva et al., 2017: figs 2–4), identical to that seen in preserved specimens of  D. splendidum [USNM 35522 (holotype), CIB 2588, 2591, 2596, 72468, 72469 from Chongqin, China]. Based on the available data, the only differentiating characteristic between  D. ngoclinense from  D. splendidum is the mid-dorsal scale count, which is higher in  D. ngoclinense (54–56 vs. 44–52 in  J. splendidum ; Ananjeva et al., 2017). However, such a difference is based on a small sample size of three specimens of  D. ngoclinense , and mid-dorsal scale counts are known to vary in  Diploderma (Ota, 1989a; Manthey et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2016, 2018). In addition to the suspicious distribution of  D. ngoclinense (isolated and 1000 km south of the most southern-known range of the genus; Ananjeva et al., 2017), we question the taxonomic validity of  D. ngoclinense . Future field confirmation, detailed morphological comparisons and phylogenetic analyses are needed to validate the taxonomic status and distribution of this species. </p>
            <p> Historically, almost all  Diploderma diversity in central and south-west China was thought to be a single species,  D. flaviceps (Zhao et al., 1999) . Although numerous new species have been described from the  D. flaviceps complex, including  D. batangense ,  D. brevicaudum ,  D. flaviceps ,  D. iadinum ,  D. laeviventre ,  D. micangshanense ,  D. vela ,  D. yulongense and  D. zhaoermii (Song, 1987; Li et al., 2001; Gao &amp; Hou, 2002; Manthey et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2015, 2016, 2017), many outlier records of  D. flaviceps in south-west China have not been examined, some of which may represent either cryptic diversity in the genus or misidentifications (Wang et al., 2016). For example, the genetic sequence data of an MVZ specimen from Wenchuan, north-west Sichuan Province, China (MVZ 216622) was recorded as  D. flaviceps upon deposition in GenBank, and subsequently has been used for numerous phylogenetic studies (GenBank accession no. AF128500; Macey et al., 2000; Schulte et al., 2004; Zug et al., 2006; Pyron et al., 2013; Grismer et al., 2016b). However, according to the museum record, the collection locality of this specimen is east of Wenchuan, Sichuan Province, China, which is geographically proximate to the type locality of a different congener,  D. zhaoermii (Gao &amp; Hou, 2002) . Furthermore, our phylogenetic analyses recover this individual of  D. cf. flaviceps as nested within topotypic material of  D. zhaoermii (Fig. 2). Additionally, as  D. flaviceps is not recognized to occur outside the upper Dadu River Valley and its direct tributaries (Manthey et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2016), we suspect that the  Diploderma specimen (MVZ 216622, genetic sequence on GenBank AF128500) was misidentified, and it represents the species  D. zhaoermii instead. Poorly studied groups and continuous taxonomic revisions create problems such as this for museum and online databases, and numerous changes to the taxonomy of the  D. flaviceps complex in China are no exception. We propose major natural history collections update the taxonomy of  Japalura s.l. , particularly members of the  D. flaviceps complex from south-west China. </p>
