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.
