Inactive taxon created:
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1498942-Uroplatus-garamaso
Taxon swap drafted:
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/130918
Range for U. garamasos created and IUCN range for U. henkeli amended
Atlases created but do not have the granularity to split the two neatly, also captive obs in the US will be pushed back to genus?
@loarie could you please action the swap if the atlases are ok
Taxon split is needed. All populations from the north tip and northeastern part of Madagascar are now considered Uroplatus garamaso. See the paper here: http://www.markscherz.com/wp-content/uploads/Glaw-et-al.-2023-A-new-large-sized-species-of-leaf-tailed-gecko-Uroplatus-from-northern-Madagascar.pdf
