Based on specimens collected from the North Central Vietnam and published reports, we provide an updated review of the species composition of amphibians and reptiles in the North Central Vietnam including 303 species belonging to 32 families and 5 orders, accounting for 40.62 percent of the herpetofauna currently known in Vietnam. Among them, there are 41 globally threatened species and 36 nationally endangered species. These study results also complement the distribution of 48 species (20 amphibian species, 28 reptilian species) in the North Central Vietnam compared with the publication of Nguyen Van Sang, et al. (2009).
