SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE

The first number of the SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE series appeared in
1965. SHIS number 1 was a list of herpetological 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 the 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, indices, 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 printed copies are available to interested individuals at $5 per issue. Recent issues of SHIS
are available as pdf files from our webpage www. mnh.si.edu/rc/. Libraries, herpetological
associations, and research laboratories are invited to exchange their publications with us.

Please address all requests for printed 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 Section of Herpetology of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM)
began in July of 1965 when the first specimen, Cynops pyrrhogaster, was cataloged. A goal of the
newly established Herpetology Section was to serve as the primary research and reference
collection in the greater Los Angeles area. Researchers at several southern California universities
wished to transfer their collections to a central depository in order to make these materials more
accessible to other investigators and to ensure long-term curatorial care that could not be assured in
an university environment. The core of the LACM herpetological collections was derived from
materials then at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of Southern
California (USC, AHF, CRE), and the California State universities at Long Beach (CSULB) and
Fullerton (CSUF).

The first curator was James R. Dixon. During his two-year tenure, two collections from the
University of Southern California (USC and AHF) were accessioned, and he began the transfer of
the UCLA material. John W. Wright replaced James Dixon in 1967, and shortly thereafter, the
remainder of the UCLA specimens arrived and were integrated into the growing collection. Other
significant collections were also donated by several Research Associates (e.g., Eric Pianka, Dennis
Paulson, and Richard Worthington). Robert L. Bezy joined the staff in 1970 as Associate Curator
and in 1998, David A. Kizirian arrived as Assistant Curator.

Collections organization and integration received a critical boost in 1973 with an award from
the National Science Foundation. These funds allowed the hiring of two curatorial assistants for five
years. During this period the CSULB and several other large collections arrived and were
accessioned. By 1978, all but one collection originally promised for transfer had been integrated
into the LACM herpetological holdings. The exception was J. M. Savage’s CRE [Costa Rican
Expeditions] collection. Upon the completion of his research for his book on the Costa Rican
herpetofauna in 1998, the CRE material was transferred to the museum. The consolidation of the
individual research collections has produced a readily accessible database of 180,000 specimens,
including a significant holding of type material.

Because many type specimens were initially cataloged in other collection, a major goal of this
compilation is to provide data concerning their current location and the LACM catalog numbers
now assigned to them. Our recognition of a type specimen relies solely on those categories formally
recognized in the Code of Zoological Nomenclature (4th Edition, 1999, p. 121: "Type Specimen. A
term used in previous editions of the Code for holotype, lectotype, or neotype; also used generally
for any specimen of the type series [= paratype]" and as specified in Article 72 and
Recommendations 72A: restricted to holotypes, lectotypes, neotypes, syntypes, paratypes,
paralectotypes, and allotypes). Furthermore, we rigidly follow Article 72b(v) with regard to the
automatic designation of all specimens in the type series as paratypes after a holotype is selected
unless they were expressly excluded [Art. 72b(vi)]. The minor exceptions are the single
hypoparatype (see Sympholis lippiens rectilimbus account, below) and topoparatypes. The term
topoparatype (1.e., a paratype from the type locality) is used to reduce redundancies in collection
data. In some cases only the number of specimens in a type series was provided by the descriptor;

such an action makes the subsequent association of specific specimens as paratypes difficult. This
difficulty is most evident in the R. F. Laurent gift of African hyperoliid and ranid frogs. All Laurent
specimens indicated as paratypes when deposited or in subsequence correspondence have been
included in this list.

Using the above criteria, the LACM herpetological collection contains a total of 2,233 type
specimens representing 249 taxa as follows:

Taxa Holotypes Paratypes
Gymnophiona ] ] 0
Caudata 47 14 334
Anura 8 i: 43 978
Testudines 4 2 18
Amphisbaenia ] 0 4
Lizards 60 9 744
Serpentes 2 6 80
TOTAL 249 75 2158

The basic collections data for the types derives the original description; however, for
consistency of presentation and to match the standard LACM entry format, we have rearranged the
locality information from largest to smallest geographic unit, whether or not that was order in the
original publication. Our corrections, changes, and emendations of the catalog data are enclosed in
brackets. Some bracketed items represent additional information, not given in the original
description, but available from the files and other collection records (e.g., collector, date, additional
locality details, current catalog number). We also included in brackets our assessment of the current
species name, where the specimens identity differs from that provided in the original description.
We have not evaluated the status of subspecific names.

The following abbreviations were used in the designation of types now deposited in the LACM
collection.
