Checklist of amphibians and reptiles of the state of Durango, México

Abstract

We compiled a list of the herpetofauna of the state of Durango, México, based on published records. The checklist contains 151 species (33 amphibians and 118 reptiles) allocated to one or more of the four major ecoregions of the state. We identified many gaps in the current knowledge of the herpetofauna of Durango, concerning the number of species and their distribution in the state, and hence, further surveys and taxonomic studies are needed to improve the completeness of this checklist.
