“…These include collections that were or are unknown for different reasons (forgotten personal collections, unclassified or non-catalogued collections, etc.). This is the case for the recently reported upon herpetological collection of the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković” of the University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia (Džukić et al 2017). This collection currently contains 8213 specimens originating from 23 countries.…”

“…All material is stored in labelled single-species glass jars grouped by the country and region of origin in order to facilitate their cataloguing and future work with the collection. During 2011 and 2017 the material was revised and this collection is a result of this work (Džukić et al 2017). Whereas this collection from Afghanistan is not large and information regarding to the fauna of the country is important, all specimens were examined morphologically and photographed in detail.…”

Afghanistan is a herpetologically understudied country with few published papers since the end of “Afghanistan’s Golden Age” from the 1930s to the 1970s. Although a detailed checklist of the herpetofauna of the country, based on exploration of herpetodiversity using biodiversity archives, has been published recently, there still exist additional historical data that have not been considered. This is the case for a so far unknown collection of lizards from Afghanistan deposited in the herpetological collection of the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković at the University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia. The material comes from field research conducted in 1972 and contains 27 specimens in seven lizard genera representing four families (Agamidae, Gekkonidae, Lacertidae, Scincidae). This historical collection was examined and basic morphometric data, field data, and photographs are provided, comparing the distributional data with published datasets. Updated species distribution maps reveal new locality or province records and an important range extension for Eurylepis taeniolata Blyth, 1854 which represents the northernmost record for this species in Afghanistan. In addition, one further distribution record for the Bufotes viridis (Laurenti, 1768) complex from the same research trip is noted.

Diversity of amphibians and reptiles, as well as threat factors were investigated during last decade in the wide area of the Vrmac hill. Field methodology included active searching and visual observation of species along defined transects. In total, 29 species were recorded, what comprises about 54% of amphibian and reptile fauna known for Montenegro. Main threat factors for amphibians and reptiles in the area of Vrmac hill are: urbanization, habitat fragmentation and destruction, fires, illegal landfills, waste waters, direct killing by locals and road killing.

“…According to results of ten days field survey, 20 reptile species were recorded in the study area, what comprises about 55 % of reptile fauna in Montenegro (Jovanović 2009, Polović & Ljubisavljević 2010, Žagar et al 2013, Gvozdenović & Čavor 2015, Gvozdenović et al 2016, Verligov et al 2016, Džukić et al 2017, Crnobrnja-Isalović et al 2018, Iković 2018. Upon literature sources, 37 reptile species are officially confirmed for Montenegro.…”

“…X. vermicularis is Eurasian species, occurs from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan on east up to Albania, Macedonia and Montenegro on the west (IUCN 2020). In Montenegro, X. vermicularis occurs in its southern and south-eastern part (Crnobrnja-Isalović i Džukić 1995, Mrdak 2006, Polović & Ljubisavljević 2010, Džukić et al 2017, Crnobrnja-Isalović et al 2018, IUCN 2020). Although, Grillitsch et al (1999) published a record of X. vermicularis on Dugi Otok island in Croatia, Jelić et al (2015) consider this record as highly questionable.…”

Diversity of reptile fauna, as well as threat factors were investigated during April and May 2019 in the settlement Mareza. Field methodology included active searching and visual observation of species along defined transects. In total, 20 reptile species were recorded, what comprises about 55 % of reptile fauna known for Montenegro. According to obtained results, area of Mareza can be considered as important reptile diversity hotspot in Montenegro. First finding of Xerotyphlops vermicularis in this area contribute to knowledge of its distribution range. Three identified species (Emys orbicularis, Testudo hermanni and Elaphe quatuorli-neata) are listed on Annex II of the Habitat Directive. None of identified species are vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered, upon the IUCN Red List. Almost all identified species are protected on national level. Main threat factors for reptile fauna in the area of Mareza are: urbanization, habitat fragmentation and destruction, fires, illegal landfills, direct killing by locals and road killing.
