Yes, a new Varanus sp. was described from the remote Talaud Islands (located between Mindanao and Sulawesi) now in 2009. The name of this new species is Varanus lirungensis.

Koch A, Arida E, Schmitz A, Böhme W, Ziegler T. 2009. Refining the polytypic species concept of mangrove monitors (Squamata: Varanus indicus group): a new cryptic species from the Talaud Islands, Indonesia, reveals the underestimated diversity of Indo-Australian monitor lizards. Australian Journal of Zoology 57(1): 29–40.

I got this papper from Thomas Ziegler a few days ago, one of the other co-authors. But aim curious to hear more about that second papper that Koch sent to you.

Best regards
