Abstract
Although the Eastern Himalaya is a global biodiversity hotspot (Mittermeier et al. 2011) and a number of 19thcentury works (Gray 1845, 1853; Anderson 1871; Boulenger 1885) documented reptilian diversity in the region, few recent studies (Chettri and Bhupathy 2007; Chettri et al. 2010, 2011) have addressed the reptilian fauna of Darjeeling-Sikkim Himalaya. The area is home to 100 species (Chettri and Bhupathy 2007; Pan et al. 2013; Pradhan et al. 2020),including the recently documented Himalayan Lancehead (Protobothrops himalayanus) and Assam Leaf Turtle (Cyclemys gemeli), but also including some species that have not been encountered in recent years. One of the latter is the Asian Glass Lizard (Dopasia gracilis).
