In spite of being one of the largest municipalities in the State of Hidalgo, few herpetological studies have been conducted in Zimapán. We report the first occurrence of 10 species of herpetozoos which expand the distribution of these species in the arid region of Northwest Hidalgo.

Keywords : arid zones; amphibians; reptiles; distribution zone.
