G.
lichtenfelderi |
|
Discovered in 1897 by Macquard |
|
G. lichtenfelderi has a very interesting history. |
| |
|
|
|
Geographically speaking, he can be found in many |
| |
|
|
|
areas,
such as province
Provinz Cao Bang, Hai
|
| |
|
|
|
Phong, Lang Son, Quang Ninh, Bac Giang, Ha Bac,
|
| |
|
|
|
and Hai Hung.
All those provinces are in North East |
| |
|
|
|
Vietnam. When the
scientists found a Goniurosaurus |
| |
|
|
|
in Hai Duong in 1999, they first thought they had |
| |
|
|
|
discovered a new species. They named it G. murphyi |
| |
|
|
|
, which was amended by L. Lee
Grismar very |
| |
|
|
|
quickly. By looking at this species more
closely, |
| |
|
|
|
they found out that it actually was G. lichtenfelderi. |

belonging to the National Park Wuzhisan on the island |

G. araneus |
|
Discovered in 1999 by Grismar |
|

| |
|
and Vietz & Boyle |
|
Vietnam. |
|
|
G. luii |
|
Discovered in China in 1999 |
|
G. luii was found in the province of Guangxi in China.
|
| |
|
by Grismar and Vietz & Boyle |
|
After its discovery, many animals were caught,
so |
| |
|
|
|
that no exemplars can be found there anymore. |
| |
|
on the island of Hainan in 2002 |
|
In 2005, a G. was found in the province of Cao Bang |
| |
|
by Grismar |
|
in North Vietnam. At first, scientist thought of
a new |
| |
|
|
|
species they had discovered, which turned out
wrong. |
| |
|
in Vietnam in 2005 by Thanh, |
|
After further investigations, it was clear that
the |
| |
|
Truong, Zeigler and Grismar |
|
exemplar
they found was G. luii. This Goniurosaurus
|
| |
|
|
|
lives in three areas: the island of Hainin in
China, |
| |
|
|
|
in the province of Guangxi in South China and in
the |
| |
|
|
|
province of Cao Bang in North Vietnam |

G.
bawanglingensis |
|
Discovered in 2000 by Grismar |
|
G. bawanglingensis was found in the north-eastern |

part of the city Bawangling. The city is part of
a |
| |
|
|
|
national park in the province of Hainan on the
island of |
| |
|
|
|
Hainan. First, scientists assumed that the exemplars |
| |
|
|
|
they found belonged to G. luii, then they
thought it |
| |
|
|
|
belonged to G.a.. In 2002 Grismar proved that it
is a |
| |
|
|
|
species of its own. |
