A systematic revision of Neotropical lizards in the clade Hoplocercinae (Squamata: Iguania)

摘要

The clade Hoplocercinae includes 13 species assigned to three taxa traditionally ranked as genera-Enyalioides, Hoplocercus, and Morunasaurus-, and distributed on both sides of the Andes from Panama to Brazil. We provide a revised taxonomy of Hoplocercinae including synonymies, diagnoses, standardized descriptions, distributions, notes on color and natural history, and a key for species identification. We also propose vernacular names in English and Spanish for all species.
