Description

Herpetological collection covering mainly lizards, snakes and terrestrial turtles of southern South America. Monte and Patagonian Steppe samples represent more than 80 % of the specimens. The majority of the specimens are lizards of the Liolaemus genus but a large number of Phymaturus, Diplolaemus, Homonota and Cnemidophorus species is deposited.

Almost all specimens are fixed according standard procedures, except snakes and turtles; the majority of this samples were collected as dead specimens.
