Abstract. The distribution of the reptile species in the eastern Amazon region is still poorly known. Here we give a list of
reptile species from the Cancão Municipal Natural Park, municipality of Serra do Navio, state of Amapá, Brazil. We recorded
through active search a total of 57 species, including two turtles, one crocodilian, 30 lizards, and 24 snakes. Two species,
Mesoclemmys gibba (turtle) and Pseudoboa coronata (snake), were new records for the state of Amapá. The number of species
in forested and open area environments accounted for 62.5% and 37.5 % of total species sampled, respectively. Of the 57
recorded species, 42 were assigned as Least Concern according to the Red List of Threatened Species from the International
Union for Conservation of Nature, and 15 have not been evaluated so far. Our findings complement the available information
about the distribution and richness of species that compose the herpetofauna of Amazonia.

the family Gymnophthalmidae had the highest species
richness (seven species, 23.3 % of the total), followed by
Teiidae (five, 16.7 %) and Tropiduridae (four, 13.3 %).
The pattern of higher numbers of lizard species recorded
for Gymnophthalmidae and Teiidae is common in the
Amazon rainforest (Prudente et al., 2013; Ribeiro-Júnior
and Amaral, 2017; Peixoto et al., 2019). Among snakes,
Dipsadidae was the most diverse, with 11 species (45.8
% of the total number), followed by Colubridae (five
species, 20.8 %) and Boidae (three species, 12.5 %). A
large number of dipsadid snakes have also been reported
in several studies in the Amazon domain (Santos-Costa
et al., 2015; Nogueira et al., 2019).
  The Cancão Municipal Natural Park (CMNP) reptile
assemblage is composed of a mix of forest and open
area species and represents 34.8 % of the reptile species
found in the state of Amapá (Costa and Bérnils, 2018).
In our list, one taxon (i.e., Cercosaura aff. argulus) has
uncertainty in terms of its identification, due to some
taxonomic issues, which may indicate a need for further
taxonomic revisions. The richness of reptiles at the
CMNP is high when compared to other inventories in
state of Amapá: Fazendinha Environmental Protection
Area (23 lizard species; Campos et al., 2015), and in
areas of dense and open forest in the Tumucumaque
Mountains National Park (34 species; Lima, 2008). In
the CMNP, most reptile species (36 species, 63.2 %)
were found only in forested environments, whereas
eight species (14 %) are widely distributed in both
environments (open area and forest). Regarding the
geographic distribution of the species sampled, most of        Figure 6. Sample-based rarefaction curves estimated for
