摘要:We present a list of squamate reptiles from Parque Nacional da Emas (PNE), ten neighbor private properties and
Parque Estadual Nascentes do Rio Taquari, states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, and Mato Grosso do Sul. The study area
encompasses the headwaters of Araguaia and Taquari river basins and part of Paranaíba River Basin, resulting in
significant habitat heterogeneity. Inside PNE, we recorded 74 squamate species: 47 snakes, 21 lizards and six
amphisbaenians. If we consider also the neighboring areas, richness value raises to 87 species: 54 snakes, 27 lizards and
six amphisbaenians. From these, 52 % of the lizards, 19 % of the snakes and 33 % of the amphisbaenians are Cerrado
endemics. Forest-specialist species are more common outside than inside PNE. Additional species are expected to occur
in the PNE region, in view of their known geographical ranges.
