This dictionary has been compiled with the aim of giving an overview of the English, German, French and Italian names of reptiles. The Basic Table contains, in alphabetical order, the scientific names of families, genera, species and some sub-species with, again in alphabetical order, their identified names in English, French, German, and Italian, which are given in the singular for species and sub-species and in the plural for other terms. The relevant order and family are shown for each term and the taxonomy is that of the sources consulted.
