Abstract

The herpetofauna of Mozambique remains poorly documented despite several recent surveys. This paper presents additional distribution records for a number of species from Mozambique, based on recent field excursions and older material at the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History. The new records suggest that a number of taxa are more widely distributed in southern Mozambique than is currently known while the additional material suggests that the taxonomy of some species requires further research.
