Two mating Geocrinia otwaysensis Hoser, 2020, a spectacular recently discovered species of frog from south-west Victoria, Australia. It has got to be the sexiest frog ever discovered in the State of Victoria and is well and truly endemic, being confined to the Otways in south-west Victoria.  They are out and about and breeding this week (mid March 2023). Geocrinia otwaysensis was only discovered and formally named by Snakeman Raymond Hoser in 2020 in one of the big frog monographs of the Lockdown period. This taxon was previously treated as a population of the well known Geocrinia victoriana or similarly well-known Geocrinia laevis. In fact it is neither! Geocrinia otwaysensis is separated from both other species by call, colouration in the groin (or lack of it in terms of distinctive black bordering and marbling) and even different tadpoles.

Anstisia

What is Anstisia? Taxonomic Vandalism

Grant Webster and Ian Bool

Two amateur zoologists, masquerading as scientists have just bootlegged the work of Hoser (2020) to attempt to illegally rename the frog genus Wellingtondella Hoser, 2020, as Anstisia Webster and Bool, 2022.The two thieves even stooped so low as to cite the Wuster et al. (2012) rant, better known as Kaiser et al. (2013) as their justification. Recall the ICZN squashed that plan in 2021 by voting against Kaiser et al. and Rhodin et al. (2015). It goes without saying that the fake science was published in the notorious online PRINO (Peer reviewed in name only) "journal" Zootaxa! The lying thieves even went so far as stealing the work of Hoser (2020), relying on the same diagnostic characters as Hoser, but being so low as to not even cite the work from where they stole their alleged new discovery! If this is not the lowest form of fake science possible, then who knows what is? The Wuster gang of thieves continue to attack the ICZN and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and remain the biggest threat to the Code in over 200 years.The original Hoser (2020) paper can be downloaded as pdf and is:

ABSTRACT

An ongoing audit of Australian frogs, relying on morphological and molecular studies has identified a number of divergent lineages, including hitherto unnamed forms.

These most recent results are published in similar format to earlier cited papers of Hoser (2016a, 2016b, 2016c, 2019a, 2020a, 2020b, 2020c, 2020e and 2020f) that named frog taxa.

Adopting the taxonomy and nomenclature of Anstis (2013) and Cogger (2014) as the prevailing usage, the following taxonomic changes are made: The genus Philoria Spencer, 1901 is split three ways with one new genus being erected. The putative species Philoria loveridgei Parker, 1940, herein placed in a new genus is also split five ways, with four new species formally named for the first time.

The genus Pseudophryne Fitzinger, 1843 is split six ways using available names for two other groups and erecting genera for three other clades. Several new species within Pseudophryne sensu lato from four genera are also formally named. The putative genera Crinia Tschudi, 1838 and Ranidella Girard, 1853 are rearranged as a single genus and split into six subgenera, with two groups formally named as new subgenera for the first time. New species within Crinia are also formally named.

The genus Geocrinia Blake, 1973 as currently recognized is formally split into two with the second genus formally named for the first time as Wellingtondella gen. nov., with a type species of Crinia rosea Harrison, 1927. Hesperocrinia Wells and Wellington, 1985, type species: Crinia leai Fletcher, 1898 is resurrected as a subgenus within Geocrinia, but in a totally different concept to that originally conceived by Wells and Wellington (1985).

Two new species within subgenus Hesperocrinia and three new subspecies within Geocrinia are also formally named.

The putative species Paracrinia haswelli (Fletcher, 1894) is split into three well defined species on the basis of allopatry and morphological divergence, two formally named for the first time.

The until now monotypic genus Metacrinia Parker, 1940, with the type species Pseudophryne nichollsi Harrison, 1927 is split into three species, each being morphologically and genetically divergent.

Uperoleia Gray, 1841 is divided into two genera while a further two subgenera within remaining Uperoleia are recognized. One subgenus Quasiuperoleia subgen. nov. is formally named for the first time, while available names, Hosmeria Wells and Wellington, 1985 (as a genus) and Prohartia Wells and Wellington, 1985 (as a subgenus) are resurrected. Two new species within genus Hosmeria, four new species and two new subspecies within subgenus Prohartia and four species and one subspecies in subgenus Uperoleia are formally named for the first time.

A subspecies of Barred River Frog, Mixophyes hoserae Hoser, 2020 (Oxyslopidae) from North-east Victoria and nearby New South Wales is formally named.

Myobatrachidae is also divided into four tribes and two further subtribes, all but the nominate tribe formally named for the first time.
