Abstract

We present an updated checklist of amphibians and reptiles of Querétaro, Mexico. The herpetofauna of Querétaro is composed of 136 species, 35 amphibians (seven caudates and 28 anurans) grouped in nine families and 20 genera; 101 reptiles (five turtles, 33 lizards, and 63 snakes) grouped in 20 families and 59 genera. We did not include 13 previous records that do not have adequate evidence. We include three newly reported species for Querétaro: Coniophanes imperialis (Baird & Girard, 1859), Scaphiodontophis annulatus (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854), and Xenosaurus newmanorum (Taylor, 1949). A total of 69 species (51% of the total species) are endemic to Mexico, while one species, Sceloporus exsul (Dixon, Ketchersid & Lieb, 1972), is endemic to the state. According to Mexican law (SEMARNAT NOM-059), 50 species are threatened or under special protection, while according to the IUCN red list, only 11 species are under some category of risk. We suggest that a greater survey effort for amphibians and reptiles is required to discover unrecorded species in those areas that have not been sufficiently sampled.

墨西哥克雷塔罗的两栖动物和爬行动物注释清单，包括新记录，以及对有争议物种的评论

我们提出了墨西哥queremastaro的两栖动物和爬行动物的更新清单。querimasso的爬行动物群由9科20属的35种两栖动物(7种尾类动物和28种无尾类动物)136种组成;101种爬行动物(5只乌龟，33只蜥蜴，63只蛇)，分属20科59属。我们没有包括13个先前没有充分证据的记录。我们纳入了3个新报道的querimassiro物种:Coniophanes imperialis (Baird & Girard, 1859)， Scaphiodontophis annulatus (dumsamull, Bibron & dumsamull, 1854)和Xenosaurus newmanorum (Taylor, 1949)。共有69种(占物种总数的51%)是墨西哥特有的，而一种Sceloporus exsul (Dixon, Ketchersid & Lieb, 1972)是该州特有的。根据墨西哥法律(SEMARNAT NOM-059)，有50个物种受到威胁或受到特殊保护，而根据世界自然保护联盟的红色名录，只有11个物种处于某种危险类别。我们建议对两栖动物和爬行动物进行更大的调查，以便在那些取样不足的地区发现未记录的物种。

期刊介绍： Check List is a peer-reviewed online journal, devoted to publishing biodiversity data related to species’ geographic distribution. Thus, our primary mission if to fill the so-called Wallacean shortfall (Lomolino 2004) and to improve our knowledge of how life is distributed on the planet in order to better preserve it. These data are essential for studies on biogeography and provide a baseline for the conservation of biodiversity. The first step to undertaking effective conservation action is to maintain records of the distribution of species. Therefore, the journal was created from the need publish basic data on species distribution of any taxon in a timely and open manner, which are often neglected by traditional journals. Check List is a bimonthly peer-reviewed online journal, and will consider for publication: -distribution summaries of a supraspecific taxon in a broad geographic area (e.g., hemisphere, country, biome), as a review of the distribution of a taxon in the given area. -annotated list of species, of a given taxon in a strict geographic area, with comments and illustrations on the identifications, based on original data. -notes on the geographic distribution, reporting new records of one or more species while providing a complete overview on the known distribution of the treated taxa. -book reviews on books related to biodiversity, biogeography, niche modeling, or any associated field that uses species distribution as its primary data source. -opinions on relevant subjects for the journal’s mission and scope
