The Atlantic Forest is recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot, but despite the comparatively large number of published reptile inventories already available for this region, large geographic gaps remain unfilled. The purpose of this paper is to provide a list of reptile species recorded in the Área de Proteção Ambiental do Catolé e Fernão Velho (APACFV), a 37 km2 peri-urban protected area in the northern Atlantic Forest in the Brazilian state of Alagoas. Based on a review of reptile specimens and photographs collected over 27 years, a total of 65 species belonging to three orders and 22 families occur in the APACFV: three turtle families (4 spp.), one alligator family (2 spp.), 12 non-snake lizard families (24 spp.), and six snake families (35 spp.). Despite the imperilment of the biota of this region, only one of the recorded species is included on the endangered species list of the Brazilian government (Amerotyphlops paucisquamus, Vulnerable), and none are categorized as threatened under the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The reptile assemblage in the APACFV is among the most diverse documented for Alagoas, and this list is an important step to inform management strategies in this protected area.
La Mata Atlántica es reconocida como un punto crítico de biodiversidad global, pero a pesar de la cantidad comparativamente grande de inventarios de reptiles publicados que ya están disponibles para esta región, aún quedan grandes vacíos geográficos por llenar. El propósito de este trabajo es proporcionar una lista de especies de reptiles registrados en el Área de Protección Ambiental do Catolé e Fernão Velho (APACFV), un área protegida periurbana de 37 km2 en la parte norte de la Mata Atlántica en el estado brasileño de Alagoas. Con base en una revisión de especímenes y fotografías de reptiles recolectados durante un período de 27 años, un total de 65 especies pertenecientes a tres órdenes y 22 familias ocurren en el APACFV: tres familias de tortugas (4 spp.), una familia de cocodrilos (2 spp.), 12 familias de lagartos que no son serpientes (24 spp.) y seis familias de serpientes (35 spp.). A pesar del peligro de la biota de esta región, solo una de las especies registradas está categorizada como amenazada en la lista de especies en peligro de extinción de Brasil (Amerotyphlops paucisquamus, Vulnerable), y ninguno está clasificado como amenazada en la Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza. El conjunto de reptiles en el APACFV se encuentra entre los más diversos documentados para Alagoas, y esta lista es un paso importante para informar las estrategias de manejo en esta área protegida.
