Additional species

Hello everybody! I have no access to ITIS, but according to the Reptile Database http://www.tigr.org/reptiles/ there is a fourth Micrelaps species accepted: M. tchernovi Werner, Babocsay, Carmely & Thuna, 2006. --Karsten Kohls (talk) 08:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's unfortunate that the ITIS website is unavailable at the moment, but that's the taxonomy we use here. Very many of these articles (including this one) also have a link to a relevant New Reptile Database (NRDB) article, but the NRDB is rather bleeding edge. By that I mean that in the past too many mistakes and inconsistencies were discovered in the NRDB's data, so we switched to using ITIS as a primary reference. In cases such as these, where new species are included in the NRDB but not yet in ITIS, we mention them in the Taxonomy section of the article. --Jwinius (talk) 12:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
