Systematic Review of the Lizard Genus Anotosaura (Teiidae)

Abstract

Since the original description of Anotosaura by Amaral (1933), the name has appeared only once in the literature (Peters and Donoso-Barros, 1970). Five additional specimens of this rare lizard were taken in 1971-73, and these represent two new forms, and with the genotype, constitute the total number of individuals known for the genus. The relationship of Anotosaura to Bachia and Heterodactylus is confirmed
