. Asiatic herpetological research. Reptiles -- Asia Periodicals; Amphibians -- Asia Periodicals. 2(K)1 Asiatic Herpetological Research Vol. 9. p. 65. Figure 53. Faunal similarity coeffi cients, calculated bet ween Panay and other major islands in the Philippines. See text for formula and discussion. port the suggestion that the herpetofaunal communi- ties of islands within the Visayan Aggregate Island Complex are very similar but also that they have their own degree of endemism and are far from being iden- tical. Species that we might expect to soon be discov- ered on Panay include populations that are otherwise known from Negros and Cebu islands. However, we note that the high elevation endemics of Negros (, Platymantis hazelae, Pseudorabdion montanum) are not expected to be discovered on Panay; in their place we expect Panay to support it's own high elevation populations of closely-related montane endemics (, Platymantis panayensis, Pseudorabdion talonu- ran). These include the frogs Rhacophorus pardalis (Fig. 54). Rhacophorus appendiculatus (widespread on Mindanao and Luzon aggregate island complexes: both known from Negros), Platymantis spelaeus (known from Negros; Fig. 55). geckos such as Lepi- dodactylus lugubris (widespread in the Philippines), Lepidodactylus herrei (currently comprised of two subspecies: L. h. herrei on Negros and L. h. medianus on Cebu), Lepidodactylus christiani (known from Negros and Cebu). Pseudogekko brevipes (known from Negros and Cebu: P. compressicorpus has been collected on Masbate). a Luperosaurus species (L. cumingi has been collected on Negros), and skinks like Lipinia quadrivittata quadrivittata (from Negros and Cebu). Lipinia auhculata auriculata (from Negros and Masbate), and Lipinia rabori (from Negros). Snake species we expect will be found on.
