Our fieldwork culminated in the discovery of one putative new frog species (genus <i id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_37584">Kaloula</i>), at least five putative new lizard species (genera <i id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_37581">Cyrtodactylus</i>, <i id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_37582">Cryptoblepharus</i>, and <i id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_37583">Sphenomorphus</i>), and two putative new snake species (genera <i id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_37627">Stegonotus</i> and <i id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_37628">Indotyphlops</i>). In addition, we present new distribution records of amphibians and reptiles for 11 of the country’s 12 contiguous districts, along with additional natural history data. Results from our surveys increase the number of amphibian and reptiles known to occur in Timor-Leste from 22 species before our surveys began to over 60, including over 20 as yet undescribed species.<br></span></div><div id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_37579"><span id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_36615"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_37577"><span id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_36615">It is available for download at <a rel="nofollow" id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_38062" target="_blank" href="http://www.markoshea.info/downloads/oshea_et_al_2015_timor_2nd_update.pdf">http://www.markoshea.info/downloads/oshea_et_al_2015_timor_2nd_update.pdf</a>.</span></div><div id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_38064" dir="ltr"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_41867" dir="ltr"><span id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_36615">Other reports of our work are available at <a id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_41864" href="http://www.markoshea.info/timor.php#reports">http://www.markoshea.info/timor.php#reports</a>.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_41909" dir="ltr"><span id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_36615"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_41900" dir="ltr"><span id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_36615">Regards,</span><br><span id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_36615"></span></div></div></div><span id="yiv2892929721yui_3_16_0_1_1436284718923_36615">Hinrich Kaiser</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
