| Abstract: | This paper presents a unique collection of previously unpublished herpetological drawings and associated notes by the distinguished Maltese naturalist and educator Guido G. LANFRANCO (1930– 2021). Derived from manuscripts now housed at the National Museum of Natural History, Malta, these materials comprise meticulous illustrations of various species, including endemic lizards and snakes, complemented by original ecological annotations and behavioural observations. This body of work constitutes a significant historical dataset, providing invaluable insights into the Maltese herpetofauna through the perceptive lens of an avid naturalist. |
