Abstract

We report here on recent collections of amphibians and reptiles from El Salvador, in western Central America. More than 600 specimens of amphibians and reptiles were collected on field trips during 2001 and 2002, representing 51 species: one salamander, 11 anurans, 22 lizards, and 17 snakes. One lizard, Mesoscincus managuae (Sauria: Scincidae) is a new national record. Conservation needs and activities in the country are also discussed.
