Welcome to BION TERRARIUM CENTER

Limited quantity of Lygosoma corpulentum (syn. Riopa corpulenta) will be available for sale in August.

Riopa corpulenta (Smith, 1921) described was from the outskirts of Dalata City (Smith, 1921), where the holotype was collected from under the log lying on the ground 1500 meters above sea level. This species is common in the tropical forest at the altitudes of 600—800 meters above sea level in the Hong Ba massif (Khan Hoa Province), where it dwells in the tree waste and under logs lying on the ground. Can also be found in crape myrtle forest in Khat Tien biospheric reserve. It differs from other Vietnamese smooth scale riopas by the presence of six labral clypea  (vs. seven in R. bowringii (Günther, 1864) and R. angeli Smith, 1937).
