We report four species of terrestrial reptiles, a geckonid (Phyllodactlus cf. microphyllus), two lizards (Microlophus peruvianus and M. tigris) and one snake (Pseudalsophis elegans) from San Lorenzo island, Departament of Lima, Peru. Herein, we report the first record of “Loma’s lizard” M. tigris and the snake P. elegans in Peruvian islands. The presence of Lomas herbaceous and the considerable extent of San Lorenzo island can explain the relatively high species richness of terrestrial reptiles on the island.

Se reportan cuatro especies de reptiles terrestres, un gecónido (Phyllodactlus cf. microphyllus), dos lagartijas (Microlophus peruvianus y M. tigris) y una culebra (Pseudalsophis elegans) para la isla San Lorenzo, departamento de Lima, Perú. La lagartija de las Lomas M. tigris y la culebra P. elegans son reportadas por primera vez para las islas del mar peruano. La presencia de lomas de herbáceas y la considerable extensión de la Isla San Lorenzo explicarían la considerablemente alta riqueza de especies de reptiles terrestres en esta isla.

A rapid survey in Islas Lobos de Afuera (06°55,5 S - 80°42,5 W) were carry out from June 19 to 24 of 1999. A total of 39 Echinodermata species was collected: 7 Asteroidea, including two new records for Peru, Luidia bellonae, Luidia brevispina; 8 Ophiuroidea, whit one new record for Peru Ophionereis sp.; 11 Echinoidea, including five new records for Peru, Astropyga pulvinata, Diadema mexicanum, Lytechinus sp., Toxopneustes roseus, Tripneustes depressus; and 13 Holoturoidea, including six new records, Psolidium dorsipes, Cucumaria flamma, Pseudocnus californicus, Holothuria sp., Chiridota sp. and Actinopyga sp.

The specific diversity of the fragile ecosystem 'Lomas de Mangomarca,' located in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho (Lima, Peru), was characterized through the identification of lichen, bryophyte, vascular plant, reptile, bird, and mammal species. Emphasis was placed on the conservation status of the species inhabiting this ecosystem, in accordance with national regulations on threatened species. The threats to the Lomas ecosystem were assessed through direct field observations and the perceptions of local residents via surveys. Ten lichen species, four bryophytes, and 36 vascular plants were recorded, complemented by data from previous studies, totaling 67 species, 28 birds, three reptiles, and one mammal, of which 18 are endemic to Peru. At the global level, the conservation status of the species shows that 40 species are at risk of extinction, as included in the IUCN Global Red L...
