Figure 2 in Conservation of biodiversity in a hotspot: Sri Lanka's amphibians and reptiles

Figure 2. Tadpoles (top) and adult specimen (bottom) of Nannophrys marmorata, an endemic species restricted to the Knuckles range; Critically Endangered. Mainly found under boulders on wet, flat, rocky surfaces (Dutta and ManamendraArachchi 1996; confirmed by own observations). The genus is endemic to Sri Lanka, comprising four species, one of them (N. naeyakai) described only in 2007 (Fernando et al. 2007). Photos by Walter R. Erdelen.

Figure 7 in Conservation of biodiversity in a hotspot: Sri Lanka's amphibians and reptiles

Figure 7. Variability in geographic distribution among Sri Lankan reptiles. (A) Chamaeleo zeylanicus, a non-endemic species of the dry zone lowlands; (B) Naja naja, non-endemic and found all over the island below some 1500 m asl; (C) Geckoella triedrus, a wet zone species which is also locally found in the dry zone and intermediate zone; (D) Geckoella yakhuna, F restricted to the dry zone lowlands of the north; both species are endemic to Sri Lanka and need further study as regards to intraspecific variation. The status of the third species occurring in Sri Lanka (G. collegalensis) is unclear (Somaweera and Somaweera 2009); (E) Rhinophis homolepis, an endemic uropeltid snake found in the wet zone lowlands; fossorial amphibians and reptiles may be environmental indicators and key groups for an understanding of species evolution in Sri Lanka (see Gans 1993); (F) Haplocercus ceylonensis, an endemic colubrid snake found in the wet zone highlands.

Figure 4 in Zoo-based amphibian research and conservation breeding programs

Figure 4. Trachycephalus nigromaculatus. The black-spotted casque-headed treefrog (Trachycephalus nigromaculatus) is an excellent display species because it is large (10 cm), spectacu- lar, and sits in the open. These frogs are very popular pets in the Russian Federation. Image by Mikhail Bagaturov.
