Abstract (EN): Three reptile species were found in Pessegueiro Island (west coast of Portugal): Chalcides bedriagai, Podarcis carbonelli and Blanus cinereus. The first two are confirmations of species already known, but the discovery of B. cinereus is the first record of an insular population in Portugal. The species richness of the island is higher than the expected by its extension. The conservation status of vegetation on the island is poor but the island is nevertheless included in the Natural Park Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina.
