Most results of this report derive from the "Diversidad Biologica de los Macizos Montahosos 

 Sierra Maestra y Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa" project, which supported portions of our field work. Luis V. 

 Moreno and Orlando H. Garrido provided very valuable assistance to our studies in the last years. 

 S. Blair Hedges sent us some important literature on the Cuban herpetofauna. Hiana Boza and 

 Dylan Robison help us with the translation to English.
