Underestimated Herpetodiversity of Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, West Java, Indonesia

Konstantin D. Milto

Abstract


The herpetofauna of Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park is currently comprised of 34 species of amphibians and 67 species of reptiles. An updated list of 101 species was compiled, of which 31 (31%) were recorded for the first time in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. A high rate of amphibian endemism is characteristic feature, with 15 Javan endemic and subendemic species. Conversely, reptile endemism is relatively low, with only seven Javan endemic and subendemic species. The herpetofauna of Gunung Gede Pangrango accounts for 61% of the herpetodiversity observed in West Java.
