THE REPTILES OF THE AWASH NATIONAL PARK (SHOA, ETHIOPIA)

Abstract

SUMMARY The author gives an annotated list of the species of reptile at present known from Awash National Park (Shoa, Ethiopia). All 39 forms are also found in N W Somalia; moreover three of them are known only from these two regions: Coluber taylori, Philochortus phillipsi and Hemidactylus ophiolepis. Coluber taylori and Philochortus phillipsi appear to be new records for Ethiopia.
