São Tomé and Príncipe Herpetological Collection - IICT

The São Tomé and Príncipe 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 233 records (233 specimens), representing 28 taxa (7 amphibians and 21 reptiles). These were collected between 1954 and 1984, either by targeted surveys promoted by the IICT or by fortuitous collections and donations by private individuals and researchers.
