Posted: 16 Jan 2006 Hello everyone, firstly let me introduce myself, my name is JŚrŚmie and I am a documentation/museum assistant at Wollaton Hall natural history museum in Nottingham. I am in the process of working on our data base and am trying to identify a reptile speciment in a spirit jar labelled "Homalosoma lutrix", I have failed to indentify this name and google is no help either, my guess is that this name is long out of use, but I haven't got any clue, no location or common name , so if any of you got an idea I would greatly appreciate. Also I have a "Agama laticeps" which I suspect is "Enyalioides laticeps", the Amazon Wood Lizard. Can anyone confirm this to me. many thanks,
JŚrŚmie |

Posted: 16 Jan 2006 Homalosoma lutrix may be Duberria lutrix, assuming it's a small South African snake. For queries of this nature, the best source is the EMBL Reptile Database Cheers, WW Wolfgang Wüster School of Biological Sciences, University of Wales, Bangor http://sbsweb.bangor.ac.uk/~bss166/ |
