Revision of the Ameiva (Reptilia: Teiidae) of the Anguilla Bank, West Indies

Abstract

Ameiva corvina is reviewed in relation to A. plei. Two subspecies of Ameiva plei (A. p. plei and A. p. analifera) are recognized and one new species (A. corax) is named on the basis of a combination of meristic and pattern characteristics. Two species of Ameiva occupying one island bank in the Lesser Antilles, and dispersal between island banks is discussed. -from Authors
