Sažetak
Among 61 species of Amphibians and Reptiles inhabiting Croatia, all species accept introduced Trachemys scripta, are protected by the Nature protection Act of the Republic of Croatia. In the Red book of Amphibians and Reptiles of Croatia there are 19 species and 8 subspecies in categories: CR (3), EN (3), VU (2), NT (11) and DD (8). The most threatened areas with high biodiversity and rates of endemism “hotspots” are Adriatic islands and Dalmatia. In this work we present new data and critical review of IUCN regional category for Natrix tesselata, Ablepharus kitaibelii and Dolichophis caspius that are currently in the data deficient category. Salamandra atra was previously not in Red book of Amphibians and Reptiles of Croatia but due to the new data we suggest it should be given data deficient category. Also for the first time the threatened species richness and areas or occurrence are calculated and presented.
