. Bonner zoologische Beiträge : Herausgeber: Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn. Biology; Zoology. 114 André Koch et al.: A Revised Checklist of the Herpetofauna of the Talaud Archipelago, Indonesia. Fig. 8. Hvdrosaiirus sp. from Salibabu Island. Photo by André Koch. with six groups of two to six tubercular, carínate scales; three further such enlarged scales along the side of the neck; towards the ventral side numerous enlarged, smooth scales arranged in more or less distinct transverse rows; ventral scales homogenous, smooth; subdigitals under fourth toe small at basis, followed by 35 relatively en- larged subdigitals after first phalanx; toes laterally with a row of extremely wide (up to mm) scales, 36 at fourth toe forming a serrated edge. Ten and eleven femoral pores, respectively. Ground color green to brownish with en- larged scales of the dorsal and lateral side being lighter; ventral side whitish, throat darker. Taxonomy: Phenetically, the Talaud specimen resembles a juvenile H. pustulatus from Panay Island, central Philip- pines, in color pattern and scalation (photo courtesy of M. Gaulke). However, a systematic assigrmient of the Talaud population either to H. amboinensis from Sulawesi. H. pustulatus from the Philippines, H. weberi from Halma- hera or to another hitherto unrecognized taxon seems pre- mature at this time, due to the lack of diagnostic charac- ters (dorsal and nuchal crests, adult color pattern) in the juvenile voucher specimen and insufficient material for comparison of the three Hydrosaunts taxa currently re- cognized. Gekkonidae Cyrtodactylus cf. jellesmae (Boulenger, 1897) Material examined: MZB Lac. 5126 (AK056), MZB Lac. 5128 (AK055). Additional material: ZMA 15942 (1 spec), Gunung Doeata (= Mt. Doata), Karakelong, coll. H. J. Lam 1926; ZMA 17884 (1 spec), same data as previous specimen. Distribution: De Jong (1928) reported one specimen (but see 'additional material') of C. marmoratus from Karak
