AUTHORS: TAXIARCHIS DANELIS, ARISTEA PARASKEVOPOULOU, VIVIANA CITTADINO, PETROS STEFANOU & D. JAMES HARRIS

ABSTRACT: We report seven opportunistic observations of conspicuous tail-display behaviours in three semi-fossorial skink species (Chalcides ocellatus, Chalcides bedriagai and Chalcides montanus) from Greece, Portugal and Morocco. There were three categories of tail display - tail raised, curling with basal wagging and vigorous horizontal wiggling with tip vibration. These occurred most often when escape was constrained or during brief handling. We suggest that these displays are consistent with an anti-predator, tail-redirecting function.

ABSTRACT: Bachia trisanale is known from western Amazonia in Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. Bachia pyburni is distributed in the north-western Amazon in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. Here, we present the first confirmed records of B. trisanale for Colombia, based on three specimens from the Department of Amazonas and one from the Department of Cauca. Additionally, we report a new locality record for B. pyburni and provide comments on the geographic distribution of other species of the genus in Colombia.
