A Contribution To the Knowledge of the Lizard Genus Alopoglossus (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae)

A Contribution To the Knowledge of the Lizard Genus Alopoglossus (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae) A bstract We studied scutellation and morphometrics in the gymnophthalmid lizards of the genus Alopoglossus. Six species are recognized: Alopoglossus angulatus , A. atriventris, A. buckleyi , A. copii, A. festae, and A. lehmanni . We place the nominal species Alopoglossus andeanus Ruibal in the synonymy of A. angulatus . We provide detailed descriptions and head scalation illustrations of each species, an identification key, and a distribution map. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Herpetological Monographs Allen Press
