ABSTRACTA catalogue of the amphibians and reptiles from Morocco held at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales de Madrid (MNCN-CSIC) is presented. We highlight the valuable contributions of two historical expeditions in Morocco. In both expeditions a total of 31 species were collected, mainly from Essaouira, Tánger, Ketama and surroundings. The presence of the specimens which represented the first records of Cerastes vipera and Scincus albifasciatus for Morocco is confirmed. Also, the MNCN collection held the type series of Rana ridibunda riodeoroi, Psammodromus algirus ketamensis and Salamandra algira tingitana. Historical collected specimens held in scientific collections could provide valuable information for identify changes in biological communities and planning biodiversity conservation measures. Key words: amphibians; reptiles; Northern Africa; scientific collections; historical expeditions. |

Morocco comprises a large portion of the amphibian and reptile terrestrial diversity of North Africa: 14 species of amphibians and 101 species of reptiles have been recorded until now (Bons & Geniez, 1996; Beukema et al., 2013; Tamar et al., 2017; http://www.moroccoherps.com) and represent the best sampled areas of the Maghreb (Bons & Geniez, 1996; Schleich et al., 1996; Geniez et al., 2004; Fahd & Pleguezuelos, 1996, 2001; Carranza et al., 2002; Escoriza, 2010; Barata et al., 2011; Metallinou et al., 2012; Mediani et al., 2015; Martínez-Freiría et al., 2017). However, between the years 1789 and 1867 most of faunistic works that include the Maghreb region were carried out in Algeria (Boulenger, 1891). It was not until 1874 and 1883, with the publication of “Reptilien von Marocco und von den canarischen Inseln” and “Die Reptilien und Amphibien von Marocco II” respectively by Boettger, when the Moroccan diversity of herptiles became better known (Boettger, 1883; Boulenger, 1891).
During the first decades of the 20th century, several works and field expeditions contributed greatly to a better understanding of Moroccan reptiles and amphibians diversity (Günther, 1903; Zulueta, 1908, 1909a, 1909b; Boettger, 1921; Galán, 1931; Werner, 1931). One of the first field expedition in Morocco with important herpetological contributions was led by the Spanish entomologist Manuel Martínez de la Escalera, who was commissioned by the “Comisión Permanente para el Estudio del NO de África” mainly during the years 1905 and 1907 (Zulueta, 1909b; Martín & Izquierdo, 2011). Later, Fernando Galán explored the Rif mountains in 1930 during the “Misión Científica Bolívar” (Bueno & Blanco, 2002), which were one of the most unexplored areas of Morocco at that time (Zulueta, 1909a). Most of the materials collected in both historical expeditions are conserved at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, in Madrid (MNCN-CSIC).
As showed by Suarez & Tsutsui (2004), museum collections provide with numerous contributions to science and society. Particularly, in areas such as zoology and conservation (eg. monitoring of environmental change), museum collections represent an excellent source of information that provides historical data on the past species distribution and its biological features. These sources can be used to perform a baseline to study the changes and composition of biological communities or local extinctions (Grixti et al., 2009). Within this framework, the exponential growth of field work carried out both by researchers (Brito et al., 2011; Beukema et al., 2013; Sánchez & Escoriza, 2014; Martínez-Freiría et al., 2017; Rosado et al., 2017; Tamar et al., 2017) and by amateur people interested in herpetology and in nature of Morocco (as reflected by the development of web pages such as http://www.moroccoherps.com), provides a remarkable source of current information which, joined to scientific collections, could be useful to infer temporal changes in biological characteristics, to identify possible local extinctions and also to planning biodiversity conservation measures.
Here, we present a catalogue of the specimens of amphibians and reptiles from Morocco which are stored at the herpetological collection of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN-CSIC), giving special emphasis to the material collected during the two historical expeditions cited.
Localities where specimens were collected are listed in Appendix 1 and are provided with the current nomenclature in Spanish language, as present in the MNCN collection data base. Thus, the former nomenclature of localities present in the labels [e.g. Mogador (=Essaouira)], are here updated (see Martín & Izquierdo, 2011 for references). Geographic coordinates of the localities from Appendix 1, are presented in Appendix 2. The coordinates are obtained using Google Earth tools, and represented approximately by decimal grades. However, some localities could not be found and lack the coordinate’s data. The taxonomic nomenclature used for amphibians follows Frost (2018), while for reptiles we have followed Uetz et al. (2018).
The material of the herpetological collection of the MNCN-CSIC (Appendix 1) conserves a large representation of the diversity of amphibians and reptiles from Morocco: 11 species of amphibians and 49 of reptiles, which constitute 78.6 % of the total diversity for amphibians and 48.5% for reptiles in Morocco. Currently, all specimens are maintained in ethanol 70%; however, most of the old collected specimens were formerly fixed and conserved in formalin. Moreover, the collection includes a well representation of 12 species which are stored as articulated skeletons and 8 species as cleared and stained specimens. Only one specimen, of Varanus griseus, is conserved as naturalized.
The MNCN collection also holds the type series of three taxa (Fig. 1): Rana ridibunda riodeoroi Salvador & Peris, 1975, Salamandra algira tingitana Donaire-Barroso & Bogaerts, 2003, and Psammodromus algirus ketamensis Galán, 1931. While the taxonomic status of Salamandra algira tingitana is currently valid (Beukema et al., 2013), Psammodromus algirus ketamensis Galán, 1931 does not represent a supported subspecies (Carranza et al., 2006). Subespecific status of Rana ridibunda riodeoroi is currently valid but it is currently included within the taxon Pelophylax saharicus. Recent studies show three different lineages through the geographic range of P. saharicus: a western clade widespread along most part of Morocco, a central clade recorded in central-northern Algeria, and the eastern clade identified in Tunisia and Southeastern Algeria (Harris et al., 2003; Nicolas et al., 2015). The type locality of the species is Golea, Laghout and Salah Oasis, Algeria, but populations from this locality have not been genetically analyzed and their relationships with the described clades remain unknown. This could suggest the possibility of future taxonomical changes if these clades are considered to represent different species and if populations from the type locality accommodate in a different clade from the Moroccan populations. In that case, the Moroccan clade must adopt the combination Pelophylax riodeoroi, but more phylogeographic and integrative studies are needed to solve this question (Martínez-Solano et al., 2015).

Most of the material come from historical times corresponding to different expeditions. The major contribution regarding species richness is represented by the expeditions made by M. M. de la Escalera during “Comisión Permanente para el Estudio del NO de África” between 1905 and 1907, followed by the expedition of “Misión Científica Bolívar” in 1930 (Fig. 2). Other notable contribution, especially concerning the number of specimens comes from recent field work in the Moroccan Atlantic coast carried out by researchers of the MNCN in the 80s. Most of the material collected were anuran tadpoles, which form the most numerously contribution regarding specimens number (Fig. 3).

The expedition of “Misión Científica Bolívar”, carried out throughout northern Morocco, resulted in the follow specimens deposited in the MNCN collection: Salamandra algira (MNCN 904-907), Discoglossus scovazzi (MNCN 734-740, MNCN 741, MNCN 742, MNCN 744, MNCN 745-749), Bufo spinosus (MNCN 645), Sclerophrys mauritanica (MNCN 2970-2971; MNCN 2972-2973; MNCN 2991; MNCN 2992-2994), Pelophylax saharicus (MNCN 1322, MNCN 1323, MNCN 1364, MNCN 1365-1369, MNCN 1370), Macroprotodon brevis (MNCN 8421, MNCN 23296, MNCN 16621), Coronella girondica (MNCN 18450, MNCN 18453-18454, MNCN 18452, MNCN 46205, MNCN 18451), Natrix astreptophora (MNCN 8654), Natrix maura (MNCN 8706), Acanthodactylus erythrurus (MNCN 7584, MNCN 7586, MNCN 7763-7764, MNCN 21388), Psammodromus algirus (MNCN 7779-7780, MNCN 7797, MNCN 7846, MNCN 7848-7852, MNCN 7853), Timon tangitanus (MNCN 6056, MNCN 6058), Blanus tingitanus (MNCN 8167), Agama impalearis (MNCN 4802-4804), Chalcides pseudostriatus (MNCN 5381), Chalcides colosii (MNCN 5396).
General contributions of the expedition “Comisión Permamente para el Estudio del NO de África” came from the surroundings of Essaouira (formerly Mogador) (17 species from a total of 25 collected species). During the expedition “Misión Científica Bolívar” were collected 16 species from the Rif Mountains, especially from Ketama surroundings.
Most of the specimens were collected in western Morocco, from Tánger in the Tingitana Peninsula to the southern region of the former Spanish Sahara (Río de Oro), currently the Western Sahara. The collection lacks data from localities placed in the oriental region of Morocco, with no Spanish influence. Therefore, several specimens collected in both historical expeditions are related with the regions in which Spain had protectorates and colonies [Rif region, Ifni, Southern Morocco (Cabo Juby) and Western Sahara (Saguia el Hamra and Río de Oro)].
One of the most remarkable herpetological contribution from “Comisión Permamente para el Estudio del NO de África” that are preserved at the MNCN were the specimens that represent the first record to Morocco of the species Cerastes vipera (MNCN 22992) and Scincus albifasciatus (MNCN 5702), both collected in Tarfaya in 22 November 1906 (Fig. 4), confirming in that time the presence of these Saharan species in Western Maghreb (Zulueta, 1909b). Historical data of the expedition made by M. M. Escalera could serve as a reference point to compare it with the current information. While the presence of Cerastes vipera has been reported several times in recent years during several field trips (http://www.moroccoherps.com, Alberto Sánchez-Vialas obs. pers), no individual of Scincus scincus in the area has been observed since the record of 1906 (Zulueta, 1909b). The lack of current observation of S. scincus in Tarfaya region suggests that more field work, especially in Cape Juby, is needed to confirm its presence or its possible local extinction. This last hypothesis seems to be less likely due to 1) the apparently well conserved areas across the region of Tarfaya (including a protected area: Khenifiss National Park), 2) no declining or local extinction of other groups of Squamata have been reported, and 3) the secretive behavior of this species. However, it can be spotted by the identification of its tracks in the sand, making it an easy target to report.

During the review of the collection, two doubtful records were revealed. Those need to be confirmed due to the considerable range extension of the species’ distribution and also by the prevalence of drastically different ecological conditions at these localities. These are Chalcides mionecton (MNCN 5409) from “Uad Alia”, Western Sahara (collected on 8/1963) and Eumeces algeriensis (MNCN 5652) from “Iguidsen”, Western Sahara (collected on 19/09/1967). Both species are Mediterranean taxa and its presence in the Western Sahara seems to be unlikely.
Following the revision of the collected material, we were able to identify several specimens without determination or misidentified, mostly corresponding to scincids of the genus Chalcides, such as C. pseudostriatus, C. delislei and C. colosii. Although several species of scincids were expected to undergo taxonomic changes (Carranza et al., 2008), this group of Squamata has received little attention within a phylogeographic perspective in comparison with other groups such as Lacertidae, Amphisbaenidae or Gekkota in North Africa. That tendency could be caused by their secretive habits and activity, difficulty of collection and, occasionally, difficulty for reaching certain regions or habitat destruction that could has caused local extinctions. Under this framework, collection specimens could be an essential source to study certain groups as scincids or rare species as Chalcides ebneri. From this latter taxon, endemic to central Morocco (only known from three localities based in four specimens), no specimens were found during our revision, and at present the only known specimen preserved of this species, the holotype, is held in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. This is another example of how the knowledge of biological diversity remains linked with scientific collections, which can help to improve the conservation status and provide an important source of past and present information.
We extend our gratitude to Arlo Hinckley, Juan M. Pleguezuelos and Ignacio De la Riva for his valuable comments which helped to improve the manuscript.
