A second addition to the herpetological type catalogue of the Zoological Museum of Hamburg (ZMH)
In this second addition to the herpetological type catalogue of the Zoological Museum of Hamburg (ZMH), Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change, 53 additional newly discovered or newly described type specimens are presented, to expand upon the previously published type catalogues of 1998 and 2006. The species are listed in alphabetical order by family and original binomen or trinomen. References to original descriptions, currently accepted names, and remarks detailing additional information about type status are included. Lectotypes are designated for Leptodactylus kreffti, Epicrates monensis and Hemidactylus brookii haitianus. Currently, the collection contains 397 type specimens of 176 nominal species. Corrections of spelling mistakes and changes of status for some types listed in the previous two type catalogues are given here, in addition to some lost and missing type specimens, which were not recorded in the previous type catalogues.
