Reptiles of Santa Catarina Island, Southern Brazil
The Atlantic Forest is a biodiversity hotspot and one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Still, its reptile fauna is poorly known, especially in its southern portion. We present here for the first time a compiled list of land and freshwater reptiles of the Island of Santa Catarina, the...

Still, its reptile fauna is poorly known, especially in its southern portion. We present here for the first time a compiled list of land and freshwater reptiles of the Island of Santa Catarina, the largest continental island off the Brazilian coast. The list was based on field observation, literature, and preserved material from herpetological collections. We recorded 36 autochthonous reptile species, including one crocodylian, one turtle, two amphisbaenians, nine lizards, and 23 snakes. We also recorded introduced populations of two exotic emydid turtles. Species composition is strongly influenced by the presence of Atlantic Forest species, but there are also some non-forest species associated with the fauna of southern South America. A Mata Atlântica é um hotspot de biodiversidade e um dos ecossistemas mais ameaçados do mundo. Ainda assim, sua fauna reptiliana é pouco conhecida, principalmente na porção sul. Apresentamos aqui pela primeira vez uma lista compilada de répteis terrestres e de água doce da Ilha de Santa Catarina, a maior ilha continental da costa brasileira. A lista foi baseada em observação de campo, literatura e material preservado em coleções herpetológicas. Registramos 36 espécies de répteis autóctones, incluindo um crocodiliano, uma tartaruga, duas anfisbenas, nove lagartos e 23 cobras. Também registramos populações introduzidas de duas tartarugas Emidídeos exóticas. A composição de espécies é fortemente influenciada pela presença de espécies da Mata Atlântica, mas também existem algumas espécies não florestais associadas à fauna do sul da América do Sul.
