New species

[edit]

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/707860/pink-iguanas-found-on-galapagos-islands, this seems to be confirmed as a new species. Will try and do more in the coming days. So please dont delete the talk page for at least a week untill the article is done. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 07:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No-one's gonna delete the talk page... Punkmorten (talk) 13:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction?

[edit]

Is it "vulnerable" or "critically endangered"? The infobox and text say different. Punkmorten (talk) 13:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Due to its low number, after an IUCN audit it will be considered critically endangered if it is ruled as a new species and not a subsecies or variant.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 20:22, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No Scientific Name Yet

[edit]

The name of this article is misleading. Pink iguanas have not been formerly named, and when they are, they almost certainly won't be Conolophus rosada because combining a feminine species name with a masculine genus name violates the nomenclature rules. Nobody knows yet what it will be named. - 209.162.56.50 (talk) 17:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Scientific name is Conolophus marthae and the common name Galápagos pink land iguana http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2009/f/zt02201p010.pdf --Melly42 (talk) 22:02, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
