SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE

The first number of the SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE series appeared in
1968. SHIS number 1 was a list of herpetologica! publications arising from within or through the
Smithsonian Institution and its collections entity, the United States National Museum (USNM).
The latter exists now as little more than an occasional title for the registration activities of the
National Museum of Natural History. No. 1 was prepared and printed by J. A. Peters, then
Curator-in-Charge of the Division of Amphibians & Reptiles. The availability of a NASA translation
service and assorted indices encouraged him to continue the series and distribute these items on
an irregular schedule.

The series continues under that tradition. Specifically, the SHIS series prints and distributes
translations, bibliographies, checklists, and similar items judged useful to individuals interested in
the biology of amphibians and reptiles, and unlikely to be published in the normal technical
journals. We wish to encourage individuals to share their bibliographies, translations, etc. with
other herpetologists through the SHIS series. If you have such an item, please contact George
Zug for its consideration for distribution through the SHIS series. Contributors receive a pdf file for
personal distribution.

Single paper copies are available to interested individuals at $5 per issue. Recent SHIS
publication are now available as pdf files from our webpage, www.nmnh.si.edu/ vert/reptiles.
Libraries, herpetological associations, and research laboratories are invited to exchange their
publications with us.

Please address all requests for copies and inquiries to George Zug, Division of Amphibians and
Reptiles, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, PO Box 37012,
Washington, D.C. 20013-7012, U.S.A. Please include a self-addressed mailing label with
requests.

INTRODUCTION

The herpetological collection of the Institute of Ecology and Systernatics has the majority of
the families of amphibians and reptiles living in Cuba and some foreign specimens. This collection
is the most important in Cuba not only because of the number of specimens but also owing to its
broad taxonomic and geographic representation. Presently, the Institute houses 64 holotypes of
endemic Cuba reptiles: 20 species and 44 subspecies of the 142 and 152 Cuban species and
subspecies.

Orlando H. Garrido began the type collection in 1967 with the deposition of herpetologica |
specimens in the collections of the Instituto de Biologia (IB). The initial types included the
holotypes of Leiocephalus macropus asbolomus, Leiocephalus macropus phylax and Antillophis
andreai melopyrrha. Prior to 1967, types of Cuban species were deposited in foreign collections,
mainly in American museums (Rodriguez Schettino, 2000). In 1972, the Instituto de Biologia was
split into several institutes: Instituto de Zoologia (IZ) and others. Subsequently, the Ministerio de
Ciencia, Tecnologia y Medio Ambiente created the Instituto de Ecologia y Sisteratica (IES) in
1987. The collections from the Instituto de Zoologia were placed into the IES as Colecciones
Zooldgicas dela Academia de Ciencias de Cuba (CZACC).

The Cuban herpetofauna is listed in various publications (Schwartz and Thomas, 1975;
Garrido and Jaume, 1984; Schwartz and Henderson, 1988, 1991; Powell et a/., 1996; Estrada and
Ruibal, 1999; Rodriguez Schettino, 2000; Rivalta Gonzalez, 2000; Rodriguez Schettino and
Rivalta Gonzalez, 2003). However, the critical information on type specimens appears only in the
publications of the original description of the species and subspecies. Thus, we wish to summarize
the type material held at the reptile collection of the IES and begin here with the holotypes.

The following list includes for each holotype: scientific name; authors; date of publication;
original museum number (IB or IZ); type locality; sex of specimen; CZACC new catalogue
number; date of collection; and collector(s).
