SUMMARY OF TAXONOMIC AND NATURAL HISTORY DATA FOR G. BOULENGERI AND G. INFRALINEATA In addition to Geodipsas laphystia and G. zeny, G. boulengeri and G. infralineata are known from the RNP. Here I summa- rize variation in taxonomic characters for these two species and aspects of their nat- ural history and behavior. The other two species, G. vinckei Domergue and Geodip- sas species inquirenda, are not known from the RNP. Geodipsas vinckei is known only from the type specimen from Andasibe (Domergue, 1988). Geodipsas species in- quirenda is known from specimens referred to G. heinii ( = boulengeri) from the vicin- ity of Montagne d'Ambre. As discussed lat- er (species account for G. boulengeri), these specimens are not conspecific with boulengeri. The distributions of all of these species are shown in Figure 9. Geodipsas boulengeri (Peracca) Figures 7, 8; Tables 1, 2 Tacliytnenis houlengerii Peracca, 1892:3—4, Figs. 2a- d (type locality, "Valle deH'Umbi (Andrangoloka)'". Figure 8. Head of the holotype of Tachymenis boulengeri Peracca (MZUT 1874) in dorsolateral and ventral views. Di- agnostic features visible include the light postmandibularspot, light spotting on upper and lower labials, and dusky gular re- gion with irregular light Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
