Abstract

Trapelus boehmei, one of the species of the family Agamidae found in Algeria, which are mainly distributed on the High Plateau, from M’sila to Naâma and Tlemcen-south with an uncertain presence from Batna and it extends to the entire east of Algeria between El Tarf and Tebessa. These data represent the New locality record in the Sahara region, in South-west of Algeria at Tindouf.
