ABSTRACT
Long known to be a species complex, the putative species originally described as Mocoa delicata De Vis, 1888, has a chequered taxonomic history. It has since been placed in the genera Lygosoma, Leiolopisma, Lampropholis and most recently Allengreerus by Hoser (2009), based on divergence from the type species within Lampropholis Fitzinger, 1843.
Related forms have been formally named including Lampropholis longleyi Wells and Wellington, 1985 from the New England region of New South Wales, Lampropholis colossus Ingram, 1990 from the Bunya Mountains, Queensland, Allengreerus ronhoseri Hoser, 2009 from near Shepparton in northern Victoria and A. delicata jackyhoserae from Pakenham, (Melbourne), Victoria, Australia.
Cogger (2014), following from the unscientific dictates of Kaiser et al. (2013), synonymised the preceding forms with “Lampropholis delicata”, (excluding one of the least divergent of them, being L. colossus) as have more recent authors such as Wilson and Swan (2017).
This was also in the face of excellent peer reviewed scientific descriptions for each and noting that Kaiser et al. (2013) was not peer reviewed. It was in fact published in their own online “journal”.
However, the peer reviewed scientific evidence of Chapple et al. in 2011 showed that each of these preceding formally named forms diverged from the nominate form of L. delicata with a type locality of Warro Station, Port Curtis, Queensland (between Bundaberg and Rockhampton), millions of years prior.
A. longleyi diverged about 6 MYA from A. delicata; A. ronhoseri from A. longleyi about 4 MYA and A. colossus, A. delicata jackyhoserae both diverged from A. ronhoseri and from each other about 3.5 MYA, with no known genetic admixture, meaning each should be given full species-level recognition.
Besides recognizing these five previously named species, this paper formally describes and names 14 other obviously divergent forms in the same species complex in accordance with the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Ride et al. 2019), being a significant addition to the biodiversity inventory of Australia.
Each has an estimated minimum divergence from their nearest relative of at least 2 MYA.
An obviously divergent new species in the Lampropholis guichenoti Duméril and Bibron, 1839 species complex, with a 2.15-5.77 MYA divergence from its nearest relative L. swani Wells and Wellington, 1985 is also formally named for the first time.
