  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The south Pacific iguanas (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Brachylophus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) currently have three recognized living species in Fiji.&amp;nbsp; Recent surveys have uncovered more specific variation (morphological and genetic) within the genus and have better defined the geographic ranges of the named species.&amp;nbsp; One of these recent discoveries is a strikingly different iguana from all other island populations in Fiji which is restricted to Gau Island of the Lomaiviti Province.&amp;nbsp; Gau is the fifth largest island in Fiji and maintains excellent upland forests in the higher elevations.&amp;nbsp; We describe this population from Gau Island as a new species,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Brachylophus gau&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;sp. nov., in recognition of its type locality.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
