Abstract
A herpetological survey during recent expeditions to the foothills of the Cordillera de Colán in the Amazonas region of Peru resulted in new records and extensions of the geographical distribution of three poorly known species of reptiles: Dipsas welborni (family Colubridae), Gelanesaurus flavogularis (family Gymnophthalmidae), and Synophis insulomontanus (family Colubridae).
