List of records
This is NOT a complete checklist of the reptiles of
Monaco,
but only a list of the refences found sporadically in the literature on which the occurrences mentioned in RepFocus are based.
The list is almost certainly an underestimate of the reptile biodiversity of
Monaco.
No targeted field work with the purpose of recording the entire reptile fauna of
Monaco has been published so far.
More species are likely to be recorded in the future.
General remarks:
The list includes only formally described species. Newly discovered, but still unnamed species are excluded.
However, unnamed species or species unassigned to species level are included, if they are the only representatives of their genus in the country/region.
Species counts exclude extinct and introduced species.
Doubtful records, typically older voucher specimens of uncertain origin, have been excluded if considered questionable, as are records based on sources considered unreliable.
Note:
Your comments to the checklist are welcomed if you find any omissions or errors, particularly if they are provided with reliable references.
