Table 2.

The northeast Mindanao herpetological fauna summarized by family, geographical region, current conservation status (IUCN 2010, 2016), and recommended (revised) conservation status (*asterisks indicate conservation status revisions also proposed by Diesmos et al. 2014). Geographical area codes are provided for (ADN), (ADS), (CAM), (DIN), Siargao Island (records reported by Ross and Lazell, [1990]), (MIS), (SDN) and (SDS) provinces. “H”; “N”; H/N. Additional notes are included (see species accounts for discussion/explanation).
