Abstract:
The herpetofauna of Mozambique remains poorly documented despite recent surveys. We present here the first
report on the herpetofauna occurring in Parque Nacional de Banhine in Gaza Province.Four chelonian, 13 snake, one
amphisbaenid, 16 lizard and 15 frog species were recorded in the park, while an additional six snake, five lizard and
two frog taxa have been recorded in close proximity and probably also occur in the park. Numerous range extensions
are recorded, and these are discussed in the light of our present knowledge of the distribution of herpetofauna in
Mozambique.
