- Currently, more than 10,700 species of reptiles are known to occur worldwide, of these 842 occur in Brazil. The Iron Quadrangle (IQ) is an important region in southeastern Brazil, in the state of Minas Gerais, due to the intense iron mining activity, its rich and unique biodiversity. However, data available for the reptile fauna are scattered in the literature which make the diversity of this group in the IQ remains poorly known. Here we aimed to characterize the reptile fauna of the IQ, representing the first inventory for the area. We found 128 reptile species occurring in the IQ, which corresponds to 49.23% of the reptile fauna for the state of Minas Gerais, and 15.20% of the Brazilian reptile biodiversity. Among these, three species are included in at least one national or international red-list category, four have their type-locality inside the limits of the IQ, seven had not been previously documented for the area, and four have their range extensions to be included in the IQ.

O Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) é uma importante região localizada no estado de Minas Gerais, sudeste do Brasil, devido à intensa atividade de mineração de ferro e à rica e única biodiversidade. No entanto, sua fauna de répteis permanece pouco conhecida. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar a fauna de répteis do QF, representando o primeiro inventário para a área. O presente estudo encontrou 128 espécies de répteis para o QF, o que corresponde a 49,23% da fauna de répteis do estado de Minas Gerais e 15,20% da biodiversidade de répteis brasileiros. Entre essas, três espécies estão incluídas em pelo menos uma categoria de Lista Vermelha nacional ou internacional, quatro possuem localidade tipo no QF e quatro apresentam extensões de ocorrência no QF.
