| The new Atheris (Mount Mabu Forest Viper, Atheris mabuensis Branch & Baylis, 2009) has now been described.
I have the pdf if anyone is interested. Maybe Mario will allow it to be uploaded onto the site if anyone wants it. | |

| Hi everybody
I found this link:

Abstract A new species of forest viper (Atheris Serpentes: Viperidae) is described from Mount Mabu and Mount Namuli, northern Mozambique. This is the most southerly record of the genus, and the first record from Mozambique. Features of scalation, colour, body form and behaviour distinguish the new species from all other African Atheris, particularly its small size (maximum total length 384mm), retention of juvenile colouration in adults, and relatively low ventral, subcaudal and labial scale counts. It appears to be a dwarf, possibly paedomorphic, species that feeds among leaf litter on small frogs and geckos. The discovery of the new species in isolated populations in mid-altitude forest remnants on Mount Mabu and Mount Namuli, emphasizes the high conservation importance of the region. | |

| That's a pretty species. I've heard mention that there may be a couple more species of Atheris out there to describe yet. A buddy is supposed to be going out there to collect species, but I'll most likely miss that trip unfortunately. | |

| A. mabuensis sure is gorgeous. It reminds me of both Montatheris and A. runqweensis. | |
