Mozambique Herpetological Collection - IICT

The Mozambique herpetological collections of the Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical (IICT), currently housed in the Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência (MUHNAC) are part of the scientific collections of the Universidade de Lisboa (UL), Portugal. This set comprises a total of 1121 records (1121 specimens), representing 94 taxa (15 amphibians and 70 reptiles). These were collected between 1948 and 1971, either by targeted surveys promoted by the IICT or by fortuitous collections and donations by private individuals and researchers.
