ABSTRACT
This paper presents the composition of the lizard fauna of Maringa-Lopori-Wamba landscape in the western portion of the central
Congo basin in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its weak similarity
with the lizard fauna of Gaboon and Ituri faunal areas. It also fills a gap of
knowledge in a region where no previous research on Sauria has been undertaken
and signals the presence of Leptosiaphos
hylophilus and Lygodactylus n. sp. The paper mentions the
finding of a subspecies of Gastropholis echinata.
These data are important since collected for the first time in a spot where no herpetological research on lizards has
previously been undertaken.
KEYWORDS
