List species of Amphibians described between 1986 and 1990

Alive news Espèce S is regularly defined each year.

The appearance of a new species in the nomenclature can be done in three principal ways:

  • discovered in the nature of a species completely different from what is known hitherto,
  • new interpretation of a known species which actually proves to be made up of several close species but however quite distinct. This mode of appearance of species is in increase since it is possible to analyze very finely the Génome by methods of study and comparison of DNA, these methods leading in addition to rehandlings of classification by a better comprehension of the relationship of the Taxon S (Phylogénie). For this type of creation of new species, two circumstances are possible: either an already definite subspecies is high with the statute of species, in which case the name, the author and the date are preserved, or it is necessary to give a new name to part of the population of the old species,
  • discovered of a new species by the thorough study of the specimens preserved in the museums and the collections.

These three circumstances have jointly to be subjected to the problem of the number of qualified world specialists able to recognize the new character of a specimen. It is one of the reasons for which the number of new species each year, in a taxinomic category given, is about constant.

For specifying well the complete name of a species, it (or them) author (S) of description must be indicated following the scientific name, as well as the year of publication in the scientific publication. The name given in the initial description of a species is called the basionyme. This name can have to change thereafter for various reasons.

As far as possible, in fact the currently valid names are indicated, as well as the discoverers, the countries of origin and the publications in which descriptions were made.
