We provide the echolocation call characteristics of two endemic Hipposiderid bats, the Kolar Leaf-nosed Bat Hipposideros hypophyllus and Durga Das’s Leaf-nosed Bat H. durgadasi from Kolar district, Karnataka, India for the first time. The calls consisted of a constant frequency (CF) component followed by a frequency modulated (FM) tail. It was found that, on comparison with the call frequencies of other members of the bicolor group of the genus Hipposideros previously reported from different parts of southeast Asia, H. durgadasi, though larger than H. cineraceus, called at a much higher frequency (168.4 – 175.7 kHz). H. hypophyllus, on the other hand, called between 103.0 – 106.4 kHz. In this paper we present our findings and analysis of the calls of these endemic species.

Morphometrics and phylogenetic analysis based on 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequences reveal that Riopa ashwamedhi Sharma, 1969 is placed incorrectly in the genus Riopa or Lygosoma, and we transfer this taxon to the genus Eutropis. New material of this rare and endemic species forms the basis of the generic reassignment. A detailed description of E. ashwamedhi (Sharma, 1969) comb. nov. and natural history notes are provided based on the new material collected in Andhra Pradesh, India.

Recent generic rearrangement of the circumtropical distributed skink genus 'Mabuya'has raised a lot of debate. According to this molecular phylogeny based rearrangement, the tropical Asian members of this genus have been assigned to Eutropis. However, in these studies the Asian members of 'Mabuya'were largely sampled from Southeast (SE) Asia with very few species from Indian subcontinent. To test the validity of this assignment and to determine the evolutionary origin of Indian members of this group we sequenced one ...

A rich variety of waterfowl and wetland dependant birds visit the waterbodies in and around the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. No detailed investigation on the importance of these waterbodies as winter refuge and their escalating deterioration due to urbanization and related aspects has been done so far. Hence the present investigation was taken up. A preliminary survey of waterfowl of some important waterbodies in northern suburb of Secunderabad was undertaken in the winter months of 1993-1996. This paper presents ...

A new distribution record of the Japanese Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus abramus (Temminck, 1840); Chiroptera, Mammalia) is reported basing on fresh material collected from Hyderabad, India. Identification is confirmed based on morphology and a fragment of mtDNA cytochrome b (492 bp). The present record extends the range of the Japanese Pipistrelle further south in India, where it was known only from two historical records.

Whip-scorpions are recognized globally by 103 species under 16 genera (Harvey 2002, 2003) and from the Indian subcontinent by 19 species in six genera (Pocock 1900). Uropygids are imposing, robust tropical predators with enlarged raptorial pedipalps and a multi-segmented elongated post-pygidium. Like schizomids, they possess anal glands that they use to spray a chemical to deter predators (Eisner et al. 1961).
