Comparison. Asaccus iranicus sp. nov. is eas-ily distinguishable from other Asaccus as fol-lows: The direction of the fingers to forelimbspalm of the A. iranicus sp. nov. is differentwith other species of Asaccus (fig. 4). Scansors do not extend beyond claws and tubercles are present on the arms for A. iranicus sp. nov.; thisis in contrast to A. gallagheri, A. platyrhynchus, A. caudivolvulus (Khasab population), A. kurdistanensis, A. kermanshahensis, A. nasrullahi, A. granularis, A. andersoni, A. griseonotus and A. saffinae (e.g., Arnold and Gardner, 1994; Torki and Sharifi, 2007; Torki et al., 2008; Afrasiab and Mohamad, 2009; Torki, 2009, in press; Torki, Fatinia and Rostami, in press). A.iranicus sp. nov. shows difference from A. cau-divolvulus (Jebele population) by having clawsbeyond the scansors. A. iranicus sp. nov. differsfrom A. montanus and A. elisae by having smallsize tubercles on dorsal body (e.g., Arnold and Gardner, 1994; Gardner, 1994). A. iranicus sp.nov. is significantly smaller than A. barani sp.nov., A. tangestanensis and Asaccus zagrosicus sp. nov. (from TORKI et al. 2011). |
