Abstract
We provide a first complete list of the amphibian and reptile type specimens preserved in the scientific collections of the Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD-CSIC) in Spain (updated to 15 September 2025). The herpetological collection houses 195 type specimens (17 holotypes, 164 paratypes, and 14 syntypes), of 33 taxa (20 species and 13 subspecies). Twenty-three of these taxa are currently considered valid. Most of the anuran type specimens are from Bolivia and Venezuela, while reptile types are mainly from Spain. Photographs of all holotypes and also for some paratypes and syntypes are provided.
