FIGURE 6. Southeast Asia, Australasia, and Pacific islands with type localities of all species of Lepidodactylus included. Dots do not represent entire distributions of each species, and many have overlapping ranges. Type localities for L. euaensis (Tonga) and L. lugubris (Tahiti) are not shown in map limits, but are denoted by arrows pointing to the East. The type locality of L. pantai sp. nov. (Kei Kecil) is shown by a yellow dot. The historical Lepidodactylus species groups are denoted by colored dots, with Group I (Blue), Group II (Orange), and Group III (Purple). Note that these species groups do not necessarily represent monophyletic groups (see Discussion). The nearest relative of L. pantai sp. nov. is in Palau, which is also the type locality for both L. moestus and L. paurolepis. |
