ABSTRACT As part of a long-term taxonomic review of Australian varanid lizards by the author over a 40 year period, it has emerged that morphologically distinct and genetically divergent forms of two species of widely distributed Pygmy Monitors of the genus Worrellisaurus Wells and Wellington, 1984, subgenus Parvavaranus Hoser, 2013 remain unrecognized to science as of 2020. The purpose of this paper is to identify and formally name these new species. They can be readily identified and separated from the nominate form of each closely related species on the basis of morphology. Furthermore previously published studies involving the analysis of DNA has shown species-level divergences for the relevant putative taxa. It is for this reason I have not hesitated to recognise each taxon as full species. I have no doubt that a group of thieves known as the Wolfgang Wüster gang, will make a lot of “noise” following the publication of this paper and falsely accuse this author of “taxonomic vandalism”. Then a few years down the track, when the obvious can no longer be ignored, they will attempt to steal this work and illegally rename the very same species as done by Bucklitsch et al. (2016) at Wüster’s instigation, when they illegally renamed two varanid genera previously named by Hoser (2013). The unlawfully coined name Hapturosaurus Bucklitsch, Böhme and Koch, 2016, published in (PRINO = peer reviewed in name only) online “journal” Zootaxa is a junior synonym of the correct legal name Shireenhosersaurea Hoser, 2013. Solomonsaurus Bucklitsch, Böhme and Koch, 2016 is a junior synonym of the correct legal name Oxysaurus Hoser, 2013. The genus-level taxonomy used in this paper is that used in Hoser (2013) and not the illegally coined names of Wüster’s gang of thieves including Bucklitsch et al. (2016). I note that as of 2020 the ICZN names of Hoser are those that are being widely accepted by scientists as the most logical for the Australian varanids (see for example Cogger 2014 and Dubois et al. 2019, both of whom condemned the Wüster gang of thieves). The Hoser names are the ones that are fully compliant with the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Ride et al. 1999).

Formal descriptions of 15 new species of Monitor Lizard in the Euprepiosaurus (AKA Varanus) indicus (Daudin, 1802) and the Shireenhosersaurea (AKA Varanus) prasinus (Schlegel, 1839) species groups. LSIDURN:LSID:ZOOBANK.ORG:PUB:80127B71-87E4-4384-87AE-004BF1C934C0 RAYMOND T. HOSER LSIDurn:lsid:zoobank.org:author:F9D74EB5-CFB5-49A0-8C7C-9F993B8504AE 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3134, Australia. Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Received 28 May 2020, Accepted 5 July 2020, Published 9 July 2020. ABSTRACT The Mangrove Monitor “Varanus indicus” (Daudin, 1802) and Green Monitor “Varanus prasinus” (Schlegel, 1839) were each long thought of as being single widespread species sensu Cogger et al. (1983) within the genus Varanus Merrem, 1820. In 2013, Hoser resurrected the name Euprepiosaurus Fitzinger, 1843 as a full genus for the Tupinambis indicus Daudin, 1802 species group, excluding Varanus indicus spinulosus Mertens, 1941, in turn placed in the genus Oxysaurus Hoser, 2013 and the group including Monitor prasinus Schlegel, 1839, was placed in the new genus Shireenhosersaurea Hoser, 2013. A group known as the Wolfgang Wüster gang of thieves, did via Kaiser et al. (2013) falsely accuse Hoser of “taxonomic vandalism”. They then themselves committed a despicable act of taxonomic vandalism when via Bucklitsch, Böhme and Koch, (2016) they illegally coined new names in the PRINO (peer reviewed in name only) onlne journal Zootaxa for exactly the same genera. Lifting material directly from the Hoser (2013) paper, Bucklitsch et al. coined unlawful new names, Solomonsaurus and Hapturosaurus for the same genera in order to clutter zoology with unnecessary objective synonyms. As of 2020 about 17 distinctive forms previously associated with the putative taxon Euprepiosaurus indicus are widely recognized within herpetology as being separate species and have been formally named. Following an audit of the species complex, this paper formally names twelve other hitherto unnamed forms from Australia, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands as new species on the basis of morphological and reproductive divergence from the 17 forms currently as of 2020 recognized as species. In terms of the genus Shireenhosersaurea. three populations of putative S. prasinus (Schlegel, 1839) are also formally named for the first time. This makes 12 recognized species in the genus. All species within the genera Oxysaurus and Shireenhosersaurea are probably in decline and some may be in imminent danger of extinction. Formally naming new species is the critically important first step in their conservation as outlined by Hoser (2019a, 2019b).

Two new hitherto overlooked species of Dwarf Goanna, Worrellisaurus Wells and Wellington, 1984, subgenus Parvavaranus Hoser, 2013 from Australia.

Australasian Journal of Herpetology 47:32-38. Published 9 July 2020. INTRODUCTION As part of a long-term taxonomic review of Australian varanid lizards by the author over a 40 year period, the genus-level classification of the Varanidae globally was reviewed and revised by Hoser (2013). This classification has been widely accepted in the five years since then, including by regular critics of my scientific works known as the Wüster gang of thieves, who have even sought to illegally rename genera first formally named in the Hoser (2013) paper in Bucklitsch et al. (2016) as detailed by Hoser (2017). Therefore the genus-level classification of Hoser (2013) is used throughout this paper. The nefarious and often illegal activities of the Wüster gang of thieves are detailed in Hoser (2015a-f) and sources cited therein. Post year 2000 papers naming new taxa of Australian varanid include the following: Doughty et al. (2014), Hoser (2013, 2014, 2015g, 2018a, 2018b, 2018c, 2018d), Maryan et al. (2014). The post year 2000 varanid taxa named in Australia by these Two new hitherto overlooked species of Dwarf Goanna, Worrellisaurus Wells and Wellington, 1984, subgenus Parvavaranus Hoser, 2013 from Australia.

ABSTRACT As part of a long-term taxonomic review of Australian varanid lizards by the author over a 40 year period, it has emerged that morphologically distinct and genetically divergent forms of two species of widely distributed Pygmy Monitors of the genus Worrellisaurus Wells and Wellington, 1984, subgenus Parvavaranus Hoser, 2013 remain unrecognized to science as of 2020. The purpose of this paper is to identify and formally name these new species. They can be readily identified and separated from the nominate form of each closely related species on the basis of morphology. Furthermore previously published studies involving the analysis of DNA has shown species-level divergences for the relevant putative taxa. It is for this reason I have not hesitated to recognise each taxon as full species. I have no doubt that a group of thieves known as the Wolfgang Wüster gang, will make a lot of “noise” following the publication of this paper and falsely accuse this author of “taxonomic vandalism”. Then a few years down the track, when the obvious can no longer be ignored, they will attempt to steal this work and illegally rename the very same species as done by Bucklitsch et al. (2016) at Wüster’s instigation, when they illegally renamed two varanid genera previously named by Hoser (2013). The unlawfully coined name Hapturosaurus Bucklitsch, Böhme and Koch, 2016, published in (PRINO = peer reviewed in name only) online “journal” Zootaxa is a junior synonym of the correct legal name Shireenhosersaurea Hoser, 2013. Solomonsaurus Bucklitsch, Böhme and Koch, 2016 is a junior synonym of the correct legal name Oxysaurus Hoser, 2013. The genus-level taxonomy used in this paper is that used in Hoser (2013) and not the illegally coined names of Wüster’s gang of thieves including Bucklitsch et al. (2016). I note that as of 2020 the ICZN names of Hoser are those that are being widely accepted by scientists as the most logical for the Australian varanids (see for example Cogger 2014 and Dubois et al. 2019, both of whom condemned the Wüster gang of thieves). The Hoser names are the ones that are fully compliant with the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Ride et al. 1999).

ABSTRACT The Mangrove Monitor “Varanus indicus” (Daudin, 1802) and Green Monitor “Varanus prasinus” (Schlegel, 1839) were each long thought of as being single widespread species sensu Cogger et al. (1983) within the genus Varanus Merrem, 1820. In 2013, Hoser resurrected the name Euprepiosaurus Fitzinger, 1843 as a full genus for the Tupinambis indicus Daudin, 1802 species group, excluding Varanus indicus spinulosus Mertens, 1941, in turn placed in the genus Oxysaurus Hoser, 2013 and the group including Monitor prasinus Schlegel, 1839, was placed in the new genus Shireenhosersaurea Hoser, 2013. A group known as the Wolfgang Wüster gang of thieves, did via Kaiser et al. (2013) falsely accuse Hoser of “taxonomic vandalism”. They then themselves committed a despicable act of taxonomic vandalism when via Bucklitsch, Böhme and Koch, (2016) they illegally coined new names in the PRINO (peer reviewed in name only) onlne journal Zootaxa for exactly the same genera. Lifting material directly from the Hoser (2013) paper, Bucklitsch et al. coined unlawful new names, Solomonsaurus and Hapturosaurus for the same genera in order to clutter zoology with unnecessary objective synonyms. As of 2020 about 17 distinctive forms previously associated with the putative taxon Euprepiosaurus indicus are widely recognized within herpetology as being separate species and have been formally named. Following an audit of the species complex, this paper formally names twelve other hitherto unnamed forms from Australia, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands as new species on the basis of morphological and reproductive divergence from the 17 forms currently as of 2020 recognized as species. In terms of the genus Shireenhosersaurea. three populations of putative S. prasinus (Schlegel, 1839) are also formally named for the first time. This makes 12 recognized species in the genus. All species within the genera Oxysaurus and Shireenhosersaurea are probably in decline and some may be in imminent danger of extinction. Formally naming new species is the critically important first step in their conservation as outlined by Hoser (2019a, 2019b).

Items in blue (others) are so-called subjective synonyms, but based on second authors taxonomic diagnosis are one and the same taxon as earlier items on right, meaning oldest available names must be used.  Items in blue typically include specimens from same location and collection series and/or extremely closely related species if genus, with later authors typically lifting important diagnostic material from earlier authors papers (mainly uncited or alternatively derided, but bootlegged). About half the junior synonyms have NOT been recorded in Zoobank (ICZN Repository) as of end January 2020 and many of the others are incompletely listed. All senior Hoser names (most on this list) have been fully recorded in Zoobank at time of original publication since inception of Zoobank (ICZN), and also recorded on publication and archived at Zoological Record, National Library of Australia, Natural History Museum, UK, etc, and fully comply with rules of the in force International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Last updated 20 May 2020.

 In the original table as printed, the underlined names are OBJECTIVE synonyms (as in exactly the same type specimen or type species - about 30 in total). Items in blue are so-called subjective synonyms, but based on second authors taxonomic diagnosis are one and the same taxon as earlier items on right, meaning oldest available names must be used.  Items in blue typically include specimens from same location and collection series and/or extremely closely related species if genus, with later authors typically lifting important diagnostic material from earlier authors papers (mainly uncited or alternatively derided, but bootlegged). About half the junior synonyms have NOT been recorded in Zoobank (ICZN Repository) as of end Sept 2019 and many of the others are incompletely listed. All senior Hoser names (most on this list) have been fully recorded in Zoobank at time of original publication since inception of Zoobank (ICZN), and also recorded on publication and archived at Zoological Record, National Library of Australia, Natural History Museum, UK, etc, and fully comply with rules of the in force International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.  Learn more at http://www.smuggled.com/scientific-fraud-wolfgang-wuster.htm

10 recent illegally coined names by the taxonomic vandal, Wolfgang Wüster and his gang of thieves, with correct scientific names shown in a table. Australasian Journal of Herpetology ®, Issue 35, published 20 July 2017, pages 57-63. Taxonomic vandalism by Wolfgang Wüster and his gang of thieves continues. New names unlawfully coined by the rulebreakers for species and genera previously named according to the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. RAYMOND T.

Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Received 25 April 2017, Accepted 28 June 2017, Published 20 July 2017. ABSTRACT Hoser (2015a-f) detailed illegal actions by Welshman Wolfgang Wüster and his gang of thieves with respect to their campaign to undermine the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature as well as their attempts to usurp the authority of the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). Their business model was not unlike that of the terrorist group calling themselves “Islamic State” or ISIS in that nothing was outside of their domain in terms of acts they would do to further their aim. Hoser (2015a) published a list of 31 names illegally coined by the Wüster gang with the express intent of illegally overwriting valid ICZN compliant names previously published to steal the intellectual property of others. They use websites and journals they despotically control to push their illegally coined names on others, falsely alleging they are legal and code complaint, which they are not. Wolfgang Wüster and his gang also supress use of the correct legal names by others and aggressively encourage others to similarly steal the works of others. Since Hoser (2015a) published a list of 31 illegally coined names in herpetology, the gang has continued to unlawfully create nomenclatural instability as part of their campaign to destroy the rules of nomenclature that have governed the biological sciences for centuries. This paper presents a summary of ten of the gang’s more recent acts of taxonomic vandalism and presents these 10 unlawfully coined names in a table with the correct names alongside, so that herpetologists can use the correct names instead. The list from 2015 has also been republished as the information within it remains current.
