Abstract

We present new localities of four species of amphibians and reptiles from foothill and high - Andean areas of the province of El Oro, southwestern Ecuador. These records significantly expand the global distributional ranges of Nymphargus buenaventura, Gastrotheca lateonata, Anolis lyra and Pliocercus euryzonus.
