Under each political or geographical designation, each taxon, which has a key, has been listed 

 alphabetically as follows: l) Amphibia, Reptiles; 2; all taxa designations below class to, but not 

 including family; 3) family and lower taxa. After each taxon, the level of the key (to species, 

 genus, family, etc.) is given followed by the author of the paper containing the key and an abbreviated 

 literature citation. A full citation is given in a "References Cited" section. Where the taxonomic 

 level of the key has been omitted, species level is inferred. 



Some abbreviations have been used, al obvious (e.g., sp. for species, fam. for family). The 

 abbreviation "diff." has been used to refer to a key differentiating a series of animals, two 

 subspecies, or two or more taxa. 



Wherever possible currently accepted nomenclature and spelling have been used, although the older 

 term has been referenced. This has been done only for family and genus and not for species or 

 subspecies. Such detail has been left to the researcher.
