More taxonomic vandalism

Taxonomic vandalism … 17 Genera of tree frogs unlawfully given duplicate synonym names by the Wolfgang Wuster / Adam Britton gang of thieves and dog rapists.

On 19 June 2025, a paper was published by the gang in a PRINOOO (Peer reviewed in name only, online only) paper.

The paper by Stephen Charles Donnellan and 12 other stooges, including nominative ICZN Commissioner Glenn Shea, a serial offender, unlawfully renamed 17 genera of tree frogs.

These had been previously named by Hoser (2020) in a massive three volume monograph.

Donnellan et al. also named two other apparently valid genera in the same paper. The data relied upon by the later authors was in the main lifted from Hoser (2020) without attribution in violation of the rules of the ICZN and Copyright laws.

So that there is no confusion as to the correct scientific names, published below is a list of all 20 names proposed by Donnellan et al. (2020), including the three that are apparently valid and derived from further splits of the generic arrangement of Hoser (2020).

Nice Aaarvo Hoser, 2025 in Snake Catcher Melbourne with a bog standard male Taipan.

There is way more to these snakes according to Snakebusters Australian Snakeman than just being one dimensional killing machines.

In fact they are not.

I handle them daily and literally scoop them up in my hand and guess what?

They have zero inclination to bite.

What is more, they bust their balls not to bite.

So do not believe the rubbish elsewhere on the Web about how evil Taipans are.

Put simply, they are not!

PS Aaarvo is a genus of Melbourne tree frogs.

ABSTRACT This paper reports on a world first breeding between a male Queensland Black Headed Python Aspidites melanocephalus (Krefft, 1864) with a female coastal Queensland Carpet Python Morelia macdowelli Wells and Wellington, 1984, (Brisbane form) that produced 12 healthy young. The young were intermediate in morphology and colour between the two parents. Significantly, Carpet Pythons and Black-headed Pythons do co-exist in the wild in the same locations and so an investigation into pre and post mating isolating mechanisms in wild populations should be funded and undertaken. It is noted that in captivity, male Black-headed Pythons produce most semen in May, while Carpet Pythons peak in September (in most years in normal seasonal cycles). Hybridisation involving other species of Australian python, notably Morelia cheynei Wells and Wellington, 1984 male mating Simalia fuscus (Peters, 1873) and M. cheynei male mating Australiasis kinghorni (Stull, 1933) have been previously detailed with photos of adult offspring published by Hoser (1989).

ABSTRACT In spite of intensive interest from herpetologists, not all species within the North American Garter Snake group, Thamnophis Fitzinger, 1843 sensu lato have yet been formally named. Hoser (2012) used available and new names to subdivide the genus Thamnophis as then recognised into a number of genera based on divergences estimated at 10 or more million years. That arrangement has been corroborated by more recent molecular studies. This paper formally names a morphologically and genetically divergent northwestern population of putative Brucerogersus chrysocephalus (Cope, 1885) from Mexico as a new species B. aa sp. nov. in accordance with the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Ride et al. 1999) as part of the permanent scientific record. Correct identification and naming of species is the first and most important step towards their long-term conservation. This is especially the case in an area of significant biodiversity such as Mexico, and when faced with significant human population increases and the environmental destruction this causes.

ABSTRACT The lizard genus Acanthodactylus Fitzinger, 1834 sensu lato of north Africa and drier southwest Asia is a well-known and often abundant group of lizards where they occur. The genus and species taxonomy has not changed substantively for decades and yet molecular studies (e.g. Tamar et al. 2016, Kirchhof et al. 2021) have flagged deep divergence within the putative genus and likewise for the species-level taxonomy. Available names are resurrected when applicable. When there are no available names, 11 new genera, 2 new subgenera, 29 new species and one new subspecies are erected to properly recognize the diversity of these lizards. All are formally named in accordance with the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Ride et al. 1999) as part of the permanent scientific record. Correct identification and naming of species is the first and most important step towards their long-term conservation.

ABSTRACT Molecular studies in the past 2 decades have shown that the putative species Andrias davidianus (Blanchard, 1871), also known as the “Chinese Giant Salamander” is in fact a composite of at least 7 species, based on divergences of 1.5 MYA or greater. As of early 2025, at least four of these species lineages have been formally named. This paper formally names another hitherto unnamed form from Kwang Sai, Guangxi Zhuangzu, South China as Andrias another sp. nov. in accordance with the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Ride et al. 1999) as part of the permanent scientific record. Correct identification and naming of species is the first and most important step towards their long-term conservation. This is especially the case in an area of significant biodiversity such as southern China, and when faced with significant human population increases, increased economic activity with greater pressure on natural environments and when the risk of contamination with naturally allopatric forms is an ongoing threat.
