Mario this image is from the 4th book here: http://www.herpetofauna.gr/index.php?mo ... bliografia

"Ερπετά της Ελλάδας και της Κύπρου" A. Dimitropoulos, I. Ioannidis

These are the Cyclades with ammodytes: Andros, Dilos, Epano, Ios, Iraklia, Koufinisi, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Antiparos, Sikinos, Stroggylo, Syros, Tinos. If not, let me know asap, because the curtain will drop soon on our book.

Jeroen, which island is "Epano"? Maybe Ano Koufonissi?

Hello Mario,

Did you try to contact Andreas Brahm from Chimaira editions?
He found some things for me in the past.

[Jeroen Speybroeck]

Jeroen, which island is "Epano"? Maybe Ano Koufonissi

It should have said "Epano Koufonissi" like on your web page, I believe.

So they are two Koufiniss islets and both have ammodytes: Ano Koufonissi and Kato Koufinissi?

[Mario Schweiger]

Yes, there are two Koufonissi's.
During the Vipera ursinii rako meeting in Budapest in autumn 2013, I was taking to Stephanos Roussos on island ammodytes and sent him pictures. One female from Kato Kufounissi. This seems the first and only record from the island. It is said, the island is viper free, so maybe be very good luck, having found an introduced one?!

[Matt Wilson]

Indeed that Kato Koufonissi is supposedly viper free. Rather bizarre but it seems Mario's observation was a very fortunate one. Many of the other uninhabited islets around the larger Cyclades have ammodytes, notably some rather small ones I visited near Antiparos.

The other Koufonissi is known as Ano Koufonissi, Epano Koufonissi or just Koufonisia. Beautiful place, perhaps the nicest of all the islands I visited. The only island where I could explore every corner on foot.

Sounds pretty cool to me!

[Ilias Strachinis]

Mario you are right! My mistake! It seems that in both books the drawings made by the same person, Achilleas Dimitropoulos He is from Syros and so is that magazine you uploaded It is vol 18 so you should find it here http://www.bibliophilia.gr/33-arxipelag ... etail.html (volumes 13-24)


Jeroen yes, there are two Koufonissia: Ano (=Epano) Koufonissi and Kato Koufonissi (upper and lower). "Koufonissia" is plural, when you want to mention both islands.

Thanks! Do both islands have ammodytes?

[Jeroen Speybroeck]

And is the double "s" a more common way to spell it in the Roman alphabet (unlike Prasonisi etc.) (as far as there are any actual rules for that)?
