03A187C8FFD8FFD76F0EF933DE2DFA0B.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology. Petracola amazonensis is only known from the type locality, Upa near Yurumarca, from 3,020 – 3,250 m asl (Fig. 5), District of Chiliquin, Province of Chachapoyas, Department of Amazonas (Fig. 6). All specimens were found in grassland during March (rainy season). The specimen MUBI 11473 was found under rocks, MUBI 11474 inside bromeliads of the genus Tillandsia, and MUBI 11485 walking on grassland near a creek and a forest. Petracola amazonensis is likely diurnal and semifossorial. Syntopic Squamata species include Stenocercus orientalis. Tree vegetation is dominated by Podocarpus (Podocarpaceae), Alnus (Betulaceae), Weinmannia (Cunnoniaceae), Ceroxylon (Arecaceae) and Hyeronima (Euphorbiaceae). Dominant species in the shrub layer include Macrocarpaea (Gentianaceae), Munnozia (Asteraceae), Chusquea (Poaceae), and Piper (Piperaceae); and herbs Anthurium (Araceae), Tillandsia (Bromeliaceae), orchids (Orchidaceae) and Peperomia (Piperaceae).	en	Mamani, Luis, Vargas, Víctor J., Chaparro, Juan C., Catenazzi, Alessandro (2023): Two new species of gymnophthalmid lizards of the genus Petracola (Squamata: Cercosaurinae) from the Andes of northeastern Peru, and their phylogenetic relationships.

03A187C8FFD8FFD76F0EF933DE2DFA0B.taxon	conservation	Conservation. Petracola amazonensis was found in a small area in the district of Chiliquin (Fig. 5), and we suspect it might be endemic to the Department of Amazonas. The type locality is 2.5 – 3.0 km from the Private Conservation Area “ Comunal San Pablo - Catarata Gocta, ” and it is very likely that the species is distributed within this conservation area. In general, the habitat where we conducted our herpetological surveys was in an acceptable state of conservation in May 2012. Given the lack of knowledge regarding its geographic distribution, we recommend that P. amazonensis be categorized as Data Deficient in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2022).	en	Mamani, Luis, Vargas, Víctor J., Chaparro, Juan C., Catenazzi, Alessandro (2023): Two new species of gymnophthalmid lizards of the genus Petracola (Squamata: Cercosaurinae) from the Andes of northeastern Peru, and their phylogenetic relationships.

03A187C8FFDDFFDB6C94FFB4DCFFFCAE.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology. Proctopous shurugojalcapi is known only from the type locality, Área de Conservación Privada Llamapampa-La Jalca, from 2,940 – 2,990 m asl (Fig. 10), District of La Jalca, Province of Chachapoyas, Department of Amazonas (Fig. 6). All specimens (eight) were found during diurnal surveys from 10: 00 to 14: 00 h. The new species was found in sympatry with Stenocercus sp., Liophis sp., and frogs Gastrotheca monticola, Pristimantis schultei, P. cf. corrugatus, P. sp., and Centrolene sp. The habitat of P. shurugojalcapi is dominated by trees of the genera Weinmannia, Clusia, and Symplocos, and shrubs of the family Melastomataceae.	en	Mamani, Luis, Vargas, Víctor J., Chaparro, Juan C., Catenazzi, Alessandro (2023): Two new species of gymnophthalmid lizards of the genus Petracola (Squamata: Cercosaurinae) from the Andes of northeastern Peru, and their phylogenetic relationships.

03A187C8FFDDFFDB6C94FFB4DCFFFCAE.taxon	conservation	Conservation. Petracola shurugojalcapi was found during field studies in support of the establishment of the Área de Conservación Privada Llamapampa-La Jalca. The Conservation Area was established on 17 April 2015, protecting more than 26,000 ha of montane forest and wet grasslands. However, this important area is not exempt from threats such as deforestation and land use changes associated with local subsistence farming, ranching, and forest fires. Although available data indicate that this species could have a restricted distribution, adjacent areas remain unexplored and could host additional populations. Therefore, we recommend that P. shurugojalcapi be categorized as Data Deficient in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2022).	en	Mamani, Luis, Vargas, Víctor J., Chaparro, Juan C., Catenazzi, Alessandro (2023): Two new species of gymnophthalmid lizards of the genus Petracola (Squamata: Cercosaurinae) from the Andes of northeastern Peru, and their phylogenetic relationships.
