Black tree monitor
The black tree monitor or Beccari's monitor (''Varanus beccarii'') is a relatively small member of the Varanidae family, growing to about in length. They inhabit the Aru Islands off New Guinea, living in an arboreal habitat. Their skin color is completely black, lending them their name.〔
== Taxonomy ==
''V. beccari'' was first described as ''Monitor beccari'' by Doria, in 1874. Years later, it was classified as a subspecies of the emerald tree monitor (''V. prasinus''), but a 1991 review of the complex returned ''V. beccari'' to species status. Arguably, it should be maintained as a subspecies of the emerald tree monitor based on similarities in their hemipeneal structures,〔Böhme,W. and T. Ziegler (1997). ''Varanus melinus sp. n., ein neuer Waran aus der V. indicus-Gruppe von den Molukken, Indonesien.'' Herpetofauna 19 (111): 26-34〕 but genetic evidence supports their treatment as different species.〔Ziegler, T., A. Schmitz, A. Koch and W. Böhme (2007). ''A review of the subgenus Euprepiosaurus of Varanus (Squamata: Varanidae): morphological and molecular phylogeny, distribution and zoogeography, with an identification key for the members of the V. indicus and the V. prasinus species groups.'' Zootaxa 1472: 1-28〕
The generic name ''Varanus'' is derived from the Arabic word ''waral'' (ورل), which translates as "monitor" in English. Its specific name, ''beccarii'', is named after the Italian explorer Odoardo Beccari.
