Description
This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Rivas, Gilson A., Sibira, Luis E., Barros, Tito R. (2022): Catalogue of Type Specimens in the amphibians and reptiles collection of the Museo de Biología, Universidad del Zulia (MBLUZ), Maracaibo, Venezuela. Anartia (Oxford, England) 35: 14-21, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7951605, URL: dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7951604 ABSTRACT We provide a complete and updated catalogue of the Type Specimens of the amphibians and reptiles collection of the Museo de Biología de la Universidad del Zulia (MBLUZ), Maracaibo, Venezuela.
This collection contains a total of 23 type specimens (four Holotypes: one amphibian and three reptiles, and 19 Paratypes: five amphibians and 14 reptiles), representing 14 species. The taxa represented by these Types were described between 1996 and 2020. So far, only one of their names is regarded as a junior synonym (Cryptobatrachus remotus Infante-Rivero, Rojas-Runjaic & Barrio-Amorós, [2009]).

The Type Specimens belonging to the families Strabomantidae, Hemiphractidae, Microhylidae (Anura), Sphaerodactylidae, Anolidae, Scincidae, Colubridae and Dipsadidae (Squamata), come mainly from western Venezuela and, to a lesser extent, from Caribbean islands, the Venezuelan coastal range, southern Venezuela and Colombia. An appreciable number of publications on amphibians and reptiles in Venezuela have been derived from this collection; however it faces serious infrastructure and security problems generated by the current institutional crisis of national universities, due to the unprecedented economic and social deterioration in the country.
