Abstract
We here describe a new rupicolous day gecko species nested within the C. gracilis clade from Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. The new species differs with a combination of morphological characters and molecular phylogenetics, from other closely related congeners. The sequence divergence of the new species in comparison with the congeners from the gracilis clade is 6.1–15.2% for the ND2 gene. The new species can also be differentiated from the congeners based on the following combination of morphological characters: conical and spine-like tubercles absent on flanks; adult SVL less than 35.0 mm; two precloacal pores; precloacal pores separated medially by two poreless scales; four femoral pores; number of mid-ventral scales 110–120; and a small black colour spot on the occiput.

Abstract
Draposa is a relatively newly described wolf spider genus numbering 11 species, out of which eight have been reported from India. A new Draposa species from Kerala, Western Ghats, India, is described, photographed and illustrated. The male palp of the new species is similar to that of D. lyrivulva distributed in Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka, but it differs by having the following combination of characters: shorter tegular apophysis with a narrow and linear tip, prominent sub-apical protrusion, and embolus parallel to tegular apophysis.

DEVELOPMENT IN EASTERN INDONESIA: ARE THERE ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES?

Abstract
Development in Wallacea, and eastern Indonesia generally, is gaining momentum. Here we query the applicability of what has become the standard or western Indonesia, model of development, for that part of Indonesia east of Wallace’s line. The numerous small islands with their finer grain of biological and cultural diversity suggest that alternative models focused locally with strong local community engagement might promote a different kind of economic development that maintains the natural resource base, including biodiversity, while providing opportunities for profitable enterprises to flourish. We describe some current examples that might be applicable more widely. The main problem with wider implementation is scaling up. Multiple conflicting goals have to be accommodated and because these are often not compatible with one another, the problem can only be solved at the landscape or seascape scale. We describe some modern methods for data management and computational analyses that can be used as decision support tools to help achieve this.

DEFINING PRIORITIES IN THE MIDST OF UNCERTAINTY: THE CEPF ECOSYSTEM PROFILE PROCESS FOR WALLACEA

Abstract
Conservation priorities in Wallacea were identified to inform planning of a Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) grants facility. Priorities were defined using locality data for 560 globally threatened species which occur in Wallacea, as defined by IUCN. 251 terrestrial and freshwater Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) were identified. Locality records also allowed the identification of 74 marine KBAs, and information on range and habitat was used to identify a further 66 candidate marine KBAs. Approximately one-third of terrestrial KBAs have protected area status. To help focus conservation efforts, twenty-four terrestrial KBAs with single-site endemics and critically endangered species were identified. The study highlights the lack of data on many species, and the lack of a centralized repository for biodiversity information on Wallacea. Urgent research needs include survey work to confirm the presence of species in more sites, taxonomic work to clarify the status of some species and sub-species, and expert-lead threat assessments to update the Red List.

PRIMATES OF SULAWESI: AN UPDATE ON HABITAT DISTRIBUTION, POPULATION AND CONSERVATION
Jatna Supriatna*, Nurul L. Winarni & Asri A. Dwiyahreni
*Corresponding author. E-mail: jatna.supriatna@gmail.com
Abstract
Wallacea holds great significance not only for evolution and biogeography but also for conservation. No less than 98 species of Wallacea’s endemic mammals, birds, and amphibians appear on the IUCN Red List of globally threatened species. The primates of Wallacea show high diversity and endemicity within a very narrow range. There are 20 species of primates in Wallacea, of which 18 are found only in Sulawesi and the surrounding islands. Among those, three have been described as new species in only the last 10 years, Tarsius tumpara, T. wallacei, and T. lariang. Their habitat is located outside of existing protected areas, which means they need special consideration for their conservation. T. tumpara is one of the 25 rarest primates in the world while Macaca nigra from North Sulawesi has been included as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List. GIS analysis of the habitats of those endemic species shows that the extent of their habitats is shrinking dramatically in North and South Sulawesi and on the small islands of the north and east coast of Sulawesi.
