Abstract：In order to understand the resources of amphibians and reptiles in Tongdao County, a total of 80 sample lines were set up in May, July and September of 2022 to carry out field investigation. A total of 24 species of amphibians belonging to 1 order, 6 families and 40 species of reptiles belonging to 2 orders, 12 families were recorded, accounting for 27.59% and 38.10% of the records in Hunan Province, respectively. It was found that the two types of animals in Tongdao County have obvious fauna characteristics: the Orien-tal species are dominated ones (67.19%), followed by widespread species (32.81%), and there are no Pa-laearctic species. Analysis of biodiversity showed that the Shannon-Wiener and Simpson indexes are 3.314 6 and 0.944 1, respectively, and the Pielou index is 0.797 0. The results of faunistic similarity showed that the faunistic division of the county is consistent with that of Hunan zoogeographic fauna. The survey made the current situation of amphibians and reptiles in the county more clearer, and would provide a scientific basis for protecting and studying the animal resources in this region.
