Abstract:
The sole voucher of Papenfuss’ Rock Agama, Laudakia papenfussi (CIB 775001), an adult male, wascollected from Zanda, Tibet, China on July 1, 1976 and described in 1998. No information on this species appearedsince its description. In September 2014, we collected one female and six males at the type locality. Based on theoriginal description and these newly collected specimens, we re-describe this species. Principal components analysisbased on 33 morphological characteristics clearly diagnose L. papenfussi from closely related species. One way ANOVAtest shows significant differences among four Tibetan rock agamas for 9 characters at 95% significant level, and 8characters at 99% significant level. Molecular analyses recover three main clades in Laudakia. The four Tibetan rockagamas place into two geographical groups: Yarlung Zangbo group (L. sacra and L. wui) and the Himalayan group (L.tuberculata and L. papenfussi).
