FIGURE 2 in A likely microendemic new species of terrestrial iguana, genus Chalarodon, from Madagascar

FIGURE 2. Molecular results and geographical context: (A) localities of the specimens of Chalarodon madagascariensis and C. steinkampi sp. nov. included in the molecular analyses. (B) Bayesian phylogenetic tree (see Table 1 for voucher numbers) based on the 16S mtDNA dataset and (C) haplotype network of the nDNA marker c-mos. Circles represent haplotypes (size proportional to the number of individuals), black lines represent mutational steps and black dots missing haplotypes, and brown curves represent connections between haplotypes found co-occurring in heterozygous individuals.

FIGURE 5 in Rediscovery of the 220 - year-old holotype of the Banded Iguana, Brachylophus fasciatus (Brongniart, 1800) in the Paris Natural History Museum

FIGURE 5. Left side of head and neck of the specimen illustrated in Brongniart (1805) (left) and MNHN-RA 6812 (right) showing bicolored head, with white throat containing grey spots. Also nuchal white spotting is typical of Brachylophus fasciatus and obvious in the illustration of the holotype. Note, however, that engraver has not fully respected the disposition and number of the lateral dark and light head marks.

FIGURE 1 in Rediscovery of the 220 - year-old holotype of the Banded Iguana, Brachylophus fasciatus (Brongniart, 1800) in the Paris Natural History Museum

FIGURE 1. Holotype of Iguana fasciata as illustrated in (A) Brongniart (1800) and (B) Brongniart (1805). The saddle-like second mid-dorsal lighter band is easily seen. Spotting on neck and white throat are also diagnostic of B. fasciatus in those images.

FIGURE 11. Partial scan of page 59 of Volume II of John MacGillivray's private journal from 12–27 September, 1854, discussing the reptiles collected on Gau Island during his trip there on the HMS Herald (MacGillivray 1855). He extends his discussion of the iguana from Gau in this section. Scan courtesy of National Archives, Kew.

FIGURE 3. Preserved holotype of Brachylophus gau sp. nov. (SUVA H 0264): A) dorsal view; and B) ventral view. Note distinctive striping on rear legs and diffuse banding on dorsal, and lack of differentiation in throat color from ventrum and no spotting, also tail lacking any distinctive ventral banding.

FIGURE 2. Illustration of the holotype (SUVA H 0264; left) and paratype female (SUVA H 0265; right) of Brachylophus gau sp. nov. The painting is from photographs of these specimens and others from life. Measurements to scale within illustration. The holotype is missing later 2/3 of tail, but tail drawn here based on photos from other males. Painting by Cindy Hitchcock.

FIGURE 12. Photo from mid-elevation on Gau Island, looking across to Nairai Island, which is the next closest island that currently is occupied by iguanas. Extreme habitat degradation is shown looking across the landscape, with invasive grasslands and plantations separating coastal forest patches from higher elevation intact forest.
