En el Departamento de Lima, Perú, ubicado en la vertiente Occidental del Pacífico, se registró un total de 16 especies de lagartijas para cuatro familias: Gekkonidae(4); Gymnophalmidae(1); Teiidae(1) y Tropiduridae(10). Se elaboró un listado documentado de especies del siguiente orden: nombre científico, autor, año de descripción, etimología, nombre común si lo tuviese y localidades de registro. Se diseñó una clave artificial para su uso en el campo y en laboratorios. Se utilizaron caracteres visibles con no más aumento que el que da una lupa de 10x. No se incluye características intemas.

Camera traps are a powerful tool for inventorying elusive and rare species and very useful to obtain ecologi- cal data for plans that involve wildlife conservation. In Peru, several surveys have been carried out in lowland Amazonia especially in the southeastern part of the country, but none in montane cloud forests or Yungas. We present the first camera trap studies produced in Peruvian Yungas at the locality of Querocoto village (Chota, Cajamarca), based on 2002 (dry season) and 1264 (wet season) camera traps-days (CTD). Two localities were surveyed in wet and dry season: The Pagaibamba Protection Forest and the San Lorenzo Forest. The wet season study was carried out in October and November, and the dry season in July to September of 2008. Eight mammalian species were recorded in both seasons. Some 66 (91.7%) independent records were obtained in the dry season, but only six (8.3%) in ...
