Supplementary files (Excel spreadsheets):
Table S1: Bibliography of published type catalogs, with collection acronyms matching Table S2.
Table S2. All collections with primary reptile types, with acronym, number of species and subspecies with primary types, location (country, city, and global region), URL of collection website, and if acronym is ambiguous in Sabaj 2019 (all ambiguous acronyms have been dis-ambiguated in this list).
Table S3. All 13,283 reptile species and subspecies from the Reptile Database with type information, with authors, year of description, subspecies flag, type kind (e.g. holotype or neotype), collection acronym (from the Reptile Database) (Sheet 1). Note that the types_info field (column E) corresponds to the free text in the Reptile Database. Sheet 2 lists all taxa without known types (note: this table is redundant with Sheet 1). Type species of genera are indicated in column H. Sheet 3 provides a summary of taxa without known types (counting unknown, lost, etc. types).
