Description

The Asian herpetological collections of the Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical (IICT), currently housed in the Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência (MUHNAC) are part of the scientific collections of the Universidade de Lisboa (UL), Portugal.

This set of collections is represented by three independent collections: the Macau region collection, the East Timor collection, and the Portuguese India collection. It comprises a total of 313 records (341 specimens), representing 36 taxa (12 amphibians and 24 reptiles). These were collected between 1956 and 1989, either by targeted surveys promoted by the IICT or by fortuitous collections and donations by private individuals and researchers.
