dc.description.abstract |
This work is the second report of the results obtained from a series of rapid biodiversity surveys
of the upper Cuito, Cubango, Cuando, Zambezi, and Kwanza River basins in Angola, which were conducted
between 2015 and 2019 in conjunction with the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project. The
herpetofauna of this region are poorly documented and the results of these surveys help to address the
knowledge gap regarding the conservation importance of this region. Here, an updated checklist is provided
for the current and historical records of lizards, chelonians, and crocodiles from the southeastern region of
Angola. A total of 369 new records were documented comprising 40 species, bringing the total number of
recognized lizard, chelonian, and crocodile species in this region to 58. These surveys documented four new
country records (i.e., Lygodactylus chobiensis, Agama armata, Pachydactylus wahlbergii, and Ichnotropis cf.
grandiceps) and increased the total number of reptile species known to occur in Angola (excluding snakes)
from approximately 157 to 161. Finally, updated distribution maps for the whole country are provided for all of
the species encountered in this study. |

Este trabalho é a segunda parte dos resultados de uma série de levantamentos rápidos de
biodiversidade realizados nas bacias dos rios Cuito, Cubango, Cuando, Zambeze e Kwanza em Angola, entre 2015
e 2019, em conjunto com o National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project. A herpetofauna desta região está
pouco documentada, e os resultados destes levantamentos ajudarão a colmatar a lacuna de conhecimento sobre
a importância da sua conservação. Aqui apresentamos uma lista atualizada de registos históricos e recentes
dos lagartos, quelónios e crocodilos do sudeste de Angola. Ao todo, foram documentado 369 novos registros,
relativos a 40 espécies, elevando o número total de espécies desses três grupos na região para 58. Nestes
levantamentos foram registadas em Angola pela primeira vez quatro as espécies de lagartos (Lygodactylus
chobiensis, Agama armata, Pachydactylus wahlbergii, Ichnotropis cf. grandiceps), aumentando o número total
de espécies conhecidas de répteis (excluindo cobras) de Angola de 157 para 161. Por fim, apresentamos mapas
de ocorrência/distribuição atualizados das espécies encontradas neste estudo para todo o país. |
