abstract = {Java and Bali are important as the most populated islands and as economic centres in Indonesia, and Java is the seat of the national government. Although a series of reports exists to document the species richness of amphibians and reptiles on those islands, there has so far been no unified compilation of their spatial distributions. The aim of this study was to quantify sampling effort and species richness for the herpetofauna of Java and Bali from specimen collections as well as published and unpublished literature sources, and to develop a map of spatial distributions as of 31 December 2017 – the first herpetofaunal atlas for any part of Indonesia. We found that the western part of Java has been better sampled than all other areas. Amphibian and reptile species richness on both islands is correlated with sampling effort, and sampling has occurred primarily in conservation areas. New species are still being described, not only from conservation areas but also from human-dominated landscapes. There is a need to increase the sampling effort on both islands, including outside of conservation areas. Development of a citizen science program focused on amphibians and reptiles would aid in increasing our understanding of species distributions in these islands and throughout Indonesia.},
