Abstract

The effort to uncover herpetofauna within the zone of influence of the Sierra del Divisor National Park has been focused on the northern reaches. The Abujao basin represents the Sierra del Divisor region well in an understudied area central to the Peruvian Amazon. We found 108 species of amphibians and squamate reptiles. Seven records extend ranges from the northern regions, while two records unite with southern regions (Madre De Dios and the Fitzcarrald Arc/Purus valley). There are higher levels of diversity attributable to land-cover units indicative of high terraces and hilly zones, as opposed to low hydromorphic habitats. Our new record for Pristimantis iiap Padial, Gagliardi-Urrutia, Chaparro & Gutiérrez, 2016 brings more resolution to this newly described species. We made observations of an unidentified species of blindsnake, which could represent a unique part of the fauna. Despite variations, we only uphold the presence of various subspecies of Micrurus annellatus Peters, 1871.

秘鲁亚马逊中部Abujao盆地的爬行动物记录

在Sierra del Divisor国家公园的影响区内发现爬虫类动物的工作主要集中在北部地区。Abujao盆地代表了位于秘鲁亚马逊中部研究不足地区的Sierra del Divisor地区。我们发现了108种两栖动物和鳞片爬行动物。七个记录从北部地区延伸，而两个记录与南部地区联合（马德雷德迪奥斯和菲茨卡拉尔德弧/普鲁斯山谷）。与低水成生境相比，高阶地和丘陵区的土地覆盖单位具有更高的多样性水平。2016年，我们对Pristimantis iiap Padial、Gagliardi Urrutia、Chaparro和Gutiérrez的新记录为这个新描述的物种带来了更多的解决方案。我们观察到了一种身份不明的盲蛇，它可能代表了动物群的一个独特部分。尽管存在变异，但我们只认为存在各种各样的环节蛙Micrurus annellatus Peters亚种，1871年。

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
