Watu Joglo is one of the caves located in the row of the Sewu mountains, Gunung Kidul, Special Regency of Yogyakarta. Watu Joglo has various suitable microhabitats for herpetofauna. So far, the study about herpetofauna’s community structure and distribution has not been carried out in Watu Joglo. This study aimed to study and map the diversity, richness, evenness, and distribution of herpetofauna in Watu Joglo. Herpetofauna’s data sampling was carried out for three days. The study was conducted on 6-8 April 2018. The data of herpetofauna community were analyzed with Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Margalef richness index, and Pielou Evenness Index. The data of herpetofauna distribution were mapped and analyzed with Avenza and ArcGis. Based on the research conducted, we found 11 species of herpetofauna which consisted of five species from Ordo Anura, four species from Subordo Lacertilia, and two species from Subordo Serpentes. Herpetofauna in Watu Joglo was widely distributed around the river. According to diversity analysis, Watu Joglo has moderate diversity index, 1.667. Besides, Watu Joglo has high evenness index which is 0.85 but low richness index which is 2.83.

Kembang Soka Waterfall Tourism Park in Java, Indonesia, is a potential habitat for frogs and toads (Anurans), as it contains a wide variety of water sources. To date, research on the diversity of Anura in the park has been limited to adult individuals. As such, the diversity of larvae is unknown. This study aimed to determine the diversity of Anuran tadpoles and their habitat in Kembang Soka Waterfall Tourism Park. Several surveys were carried out during the dry season of July–October 2018, with a total of five breeding sites surveyed. Three species of tadpoles were recorded: Leptobrachium hasseltii, Limnonectes kuhlii, and Phrynoidis aspera. The tadpoles of L. hasseltii had the greatest abundance, and were found in almost all breeding sites. Conversely, the tadpoles of L. kuhlii and P. aspera were only found in two of the breeding sites.   Key words: tadpoles, diversity, dry season, Kembang Soka Waterfall Tourism Park.
