We herein describe the amphibians and reptiles from the Ptolemais fossil assemblage, originating from 12 nearby localities in northwestern Greece, spanning from the late Miocene (MN 13) to the early Pliocene (MN 15). Amphibians are known exclusively of anurans, with the genera Latonia and Rana being identified, the latter constituting the oldest so far known record of that lineage in Greece. Turtles are represented by the testudinid cf. Testudo, whereas numerous other indeterminate testudinoids are known. Lizards include scincids, lacertids, and at least two anguids. Among them, the material referred to scincids and the anguid Anguis constitute one of only rather few such occurrences described in the fossil record of the Eastern Mediterranean. Snakes are represented by indeterminate “colubrines” and the genus Natrix. The different ages of the Ptolemais fossiliferous localities, along with their close geographic vicinity offer the opportunity to study potential survival/extinction patterns of its amphibians and reptiles across the Mio-Pliocene boundary, a time interval that has been crucial for European herpetofaunas.

我们在此描述了托勒迈斯化石组合的两栖动物和爬行动物，它们起源于希腊西北部的12个附近地区，从中新世晚期（MN 13）到上新世早期（MN 15）。两栖动物被称为完全的无尾两栖类，与属Latonia和林蛙被识别，后者构成希腊该家系的最古老的迄今所知的记录。乌龟由testudinid cf表示。睾丸，而许多其他不确定的睾丸类是已知的。蜥蜴包括蜥蜴类，蜥蜴类和至少两个Anguids。其中，提到辛奇人和安圭斯人安圭斯的材料是东地中海化石记录中描述的仅有的少数此类事件之一。蛇以不确定的“ colubrines”和Natrix属为代表。托勒迈石化地区的不同年龄，以及它们附近的地理环境，为研究跨越密奥—上新世边界的两栖动物和爬行动物的潜在生存/灭绝方式提供了机会，而这个时间间隔对于欧洲爬虫类动物来说至关重要。
