Abstract

Francisco Newtons zoological expedition to Angola undertaken between 1903 and 1906 is one of the least studied of the naturalists life. Only three major papers regarding the herpetofauna collected in this expedition have been published, and a significant part of the specimens remains unstudied since the 1900s. Here we review the extant herpetological specimens of this expedition, present an updated taxonomic revision, and provide new insights on their taxonomic status. The extant collection is constituted by 329 specimens (155 amphibians and 174 reptiles), corresponding to 73 species, 39 genera and 22 families, and it is presently housed in the Museu de Histria Natural e da Cincia da Universidade do Porto (MHNC-UP).

摘要

弗朗西斯科·纽顿的动物学考察队于 1903 年至 1906 年在安哥拉进行，这是自然学家一生中研究最少的一次。在这次考察中收集的爬行动物和两栖动物只有三篇主要论文发表，自 20 世纪以来，很大一部分标本仍未被研究。在这里，我们回顾了这次考察的现存爬行动物标本，提出了一个更新的分类修订，并对它们的分类地位提供了新的见解。现存的标本集由 329 个标本（155 种两栖动物和 174 种爬行动物）组成，对应 73 个物种，39 个属和 22 个科，现收藏于波尔图大学自然历史与科学博物馆（MHNC-UP）。
