Sažetak
In this work we present critical review of herpetofauna distribution and species richenes in Croatia. Records were plotted in maps using the 10 x 10 km squares of the UTM grid system. A total of more than 11000 observations were collected, from witch a bigger part corespond to already published data, and the rest correspond to new observations made by the authors and their collaborators. Remarkable new records include those for Ablepharus kitaibelii and Vipera ursinii, enlarging their known range into areas where they were not thought to occur. We present and discuss amphibian and reptile species-density maps. 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, socalled “hotspots” are determined and presented.
