Abstract

The present paper attempts to elucidate the taxonomic status of five species of Takydromus (T. amurensis, T. wolteri, T. tachydromoides oldi, T. kwagakunesis and T. auroralis) reported in Korean Peninsula to date. For this purpose 114 Takydromus specimens were collected from April 2003 to october 2004 in Southern Korean peninsula and morphological characters inclusive of the presence of contact between front-nasal and fostral and the number of femoral pores have been analyzed. The analysis reveals that T. kwagakunesis and T. auroralis should be synonymized to T. amurensis. In addition, the Korean Takydromus consists of two species of T. amurensis and T. wolteri.

본 연구는 한국산 장지뱀속(Takydromus)의 분류학적 문제점을 재고찰하고, 한국산 아무르장지뱀 (T. amurensis)과 줄장지뱀 (T. wolteri)의 검색형질을 정립하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구를 위해 총 114개체의 장지뱀속(Takydromus) 표본을 2003년 4월부터 2004년 10월까지 전국 각지에서 채집한 후 형태적 형질을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 관악장지뱀 (T. kwangakunesis)과 장지뱀 (T. auroralis)은 아무르장지뱀의 동종이명 (synonym)이었고, 올디장지뱀(T. tachydromoides oldi)은 한반도에 서식하지 않는 종으로 나타났다. 따라서 한국산 장지뱀속에는 아무르장지뱀과 줄장지뱀 두 종으로 구성되고 있으며, 윗코판과 주둥이끝판의 접합 유무, 서혜인공의 수는 종내 변이율이 매우 낮아 두 종을 구별할 수 있는 좋은 검색형질이라 판단된다.
