| Deskribapena: | ABSTRACT: El Paraíso is one of the most understudied departments in Honduras. We add eight species of lizards and snakes to its reptile checklist and report on morphological data of an additional specimen of the rarely collected pitviper Agkistrodon howardgloydi. The localities discussed herein contain some of the best-preserved lowland arid forests and premontane dry forests remaining in Honduras. We recommend faunal inventories and management plans to protect some of the remaining vegetation patches occurring in the El Paraíso region. KEY WORDS: El Paraíso, Honduras, lowland arid forest, premontane dry forest, lizards, snakes, Agkistrodon howardgloydi. |
