In the northern region of Romanian Moldavia we identified 16 species of amphibians: Salamandra salamandra, Mesotriton alpestris, Lissotriton montandoni, Lissotriton vulgaris, Triturus cristatus, Bombina bombina, Bombina variegata, Pelobates fuscus, Bufo bufo, Bufo viridis, Hyla arborea, Pelophylax ridibundus, Pelophylax lessonae, Rana dalmatina, Rana arvalis, Rana temporaria and 7 species of reptiles: Emys orbicularis, Lacerta agilis, Lacerta viridis, Zootoca vivipara, Anguis fragilis, Natrix natrix, Vipera berus. In addition to these, we have identified Pelophylax kl. esculentus and hybrids between Bombina bombina and Bombina variegata. The herpetofauna of the area contains elements more commonly associated with a colder and moister climate. Species such as Rana arvalis and Zootoca vivipara were present at low altitudes (200 m). Mesotriton alpestris and Lissotriton montandoni were present in the area at altitudes of 450 m. Lissotriton vulgaris and Lissotriton montandoni were often present in the same habitats. However, no intermediary specimens were identified. The three forms of the” Pelophylax esculentus complex”, including Pelophylax lessonae, are wide spread in northern Moldavia, being represented by large populations.
