摘要

A herpetological survey was made for Nankan Island and Peikan Island of the Matsu Group for the first time. As a result, 12 species of reptiles and five species of amphibians were recorded from these offshore islands on the East China Continental Shelf. Of these, one gecko of the genus Gekko differed from any species of the genus recognized from eastern continent or Taiwan by a combination of external characters. One skink, tentatively identified as Sphenomorphus indicus, also varied from other conspecific populations in size and coloration. Herpetofauna of the Matsu Group seems to be more similar to that of the continent than to that of Taiwan.

本文所載的乃是馬祖群島中南、北竿島兩生爬蟲學的首次調査紀錄。在這兩個位於中國大陸東部邊緣的海島上，總計共紀錄了12種爬蟲類及5種兩生類。其中有一種守宮屬蚚蝪的外部形態，與大陸東部或臺灣目前已知的種類都不一樣；還有一種石龍子，雖然目前暫時歸爲印度蜓蜥，但在大小及顏色上與各族群都有些許差異。馬祖群島的兩生爬蟲相大體說來與中國大陸較爲相近。
