Summary:The Carpathian Corner region (Buzău and Vrancea Counties) is one of the Romanian areas in which data on the herpetofauna is most scarce. The adder (Vipera berus), a widespread but threatened Romanian snake species, has been previously recorded in the Carpathian Corner area around 50 years ago but its presence in the area has not been recently reconfirmed. Here we give the first locality record for the adder in Vrancea County and two new records for the species in Buzău County, by means of personal observations made during the last decade.
