| description | This study was performed in Cerro Guiengola in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with the objective of contributing to the knowledge on herpetofauna located in that area; 103 collections and 602 visual records of amphibians and reptiles were made during 60 days of field work, and 40 species belonging to 32 genera and 18 families are listed in this study. Based on the data collected, the herpetofauna distribution in Cerro Guiengola was classified according to altitude, vegetation and microhabitat. Vegetation and microhabitat similarity dendograms were made using Jaccard’s method. Some species were reported in altitudes and vegetation types different from those cited in the literature. Simpson and Shannon-Wiener’s indices of diversity show that the study area varies according to the obtained data; 13 species out of the 40 species recorded are endemic to Mexico and 3 to Oaxaca; 42.5% of the reported herpetofauna are listed in the NOM-059-COL-2001 and 47.5% by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). |

Este estudio se realizó en el Cerro Guiengola, Tehuantepec, Oaxaca, con el objetivo de contribuir al conocimiento de la herpetofauna en dicha área. Se obtuvieron 602 registros visuales y se recolectaron 103 ejemplares de anfibios y reptiles durante 60 días de trabajo de campo. Se enlistan 40 especies, pertenecientes a 33 géneros y 18 familias. Se determinó la distribución de la herpetofauna en el Cerro Guiengola por microhábitat, tipo de vegetación y altitud. Usando el método de Jaccard se elaboraron dendrogramas de similitud por microhábitat y tipo de vegetación. Se reportan especies por tipode vegetación y rangos altitudinales diferentes a los citados en la literatura. De acuerdo con los valores obtenidos, los índices de diversidad de Simpson y Shannon-Wiener demuestran que el área de estudio es diversa. De las 40 especies que se registraron, 13 son endémicas de México y tres de Oaxaca. El 42.5% de la herpetofauna registrada se encuentra enlistada en la NOM-059-ECOL-2001 y el 47.5% en la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (IUCN).
