Abstract
We present a catalog of type specimens deposited in the Herpetological collections at the Museo de La Salle (MLS), Bogotá, Colombia. The list includes 85 type specimens comprising 36 holotypes and 49 paratypes. Also, we include the types belonging to other institutions, corrections in the catalog numbers and localities, additions and updates to the information in the original descriptions, as well as rediscovery of material that was considered lost until now.
