    Rediscovery of the snake genus Eirenis on Cyprus (Reptilia: Colubridae)
    (2009) Schmidtler J.F.; Göçmen B.; Yildiz M.Z.; Akman B.; Yalçinkaya D.; Nagy Z.T.
    In April 2007, three Eirenis (Pediophis) levantinus SCHMIDTLER, 1993 were collected in the western part of the Kyrenia Mountains near Lapethos, Cyprus, in a Mediterranean mountainous forest. It is the first collection since KOTSCHY'S expeditions ca. 150 years ago. Like most new (re) discoveries of snakes on Cyprus (Hierophis cypriensis, Natrix natrix cypriaca, Platyceps najadum), this species must be consi-dered as rare, with a restricted distribution area. Dwarf snakes were first recorded from Cyprus (identified as Ablabes modestus) by STEINDACHNER (1863) and UNGER & KOTSCHY (1866). A further specimen was even depicted by JAN & SORDELLI (1866; under the name "Eirenis collaris"), but no exact localities were given. Subsequently dwarf snakes were treated as erroneously reported or simply forgotten, due to the lack of more recent observations. The specimens recently found by us, morphologically (pileus pattern) as well as genetically (cytochrome b sequences), resemble Eirenis levantinus, and they are especially similar to the specimens inhabiting the opposite eastern Turkish mainland (Amanos and Misis mountains, respectively). The possibilities of immigration over a Kyrenia-Misis land bridge in the "Kyrenian-Misis zone" or by passive dispersion are briefly discussed. A further dwarf snake taxon - excellently depicted and originating from Cyprus, but forgotten later on (JAN & SORDELLI 1866: " Eirenis modestus var. quadrilineata") - may be identical to or closely related to the mainland species Eirenis (Eoseirenis) decemlineatus (DUMÉRIL & BIBRON, 1854). © 2009 Deutsche Gesellschaft für Herpetologie und Terrarienkunde e.V.
