| Popis: | "The Lacandona rainforest represents one of the most diverse Mexican tropical wet forests. Although some studies have described the amphibiansand reptiles of the region, most herpetological lists come from the northern part of the Lacandona, and there are no confirmed records for manyof the expected species. We reviewed databases of scientific collections, taxonomy, and published herpetological lists to produce the most recentupdated list of amphibian and reptile species in the region (35 amphibians and 90 reptiles). Furthermore, based on recent inventories (2007–2013)we establish 40 range extensions of 8 amphibians and 32 reptiles for the southeastern part of the Lacandona rainforest. Four out of these 40 recordsconfirmed the occurrence ofDermophis mexicanus,Eleutherodactylus leprus,Pantherophis flavirufus, andBothriechis schlegeliiin the region.All Rights Reserved © 2015 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Biología.
