“…No variability was found within these two regions of the sperm cell. In Boulenger's Catalogues, the basis of modern herpetology (Vanzolini, 1977), teiids and gymnophthalmids were grouped in a single family, Teiidae (Boulenger, 1885). Ruibal (1952 divided Teiidae in two groups, one containing the large-bodied genera, commonly called macroteiids (=Teiidae), and another containing the remaining genera, called microteiids (=Gymnophthalmidae).…”

Sperm ultrastructure of five teiid lizards (Callopistes flavipunctatus, Crocodilurus amazonicus, Dicrodon guttulatum, Dracaena guianensis, and Teius oculatus), and the gymnophthalmid Cercosaura ocellata is described for the first time. Comparisons of sperm ultrastructure among these species and with those of previously examined teiids and gymnophthalmids revealed that the two groups of Teiioidea (Gymnophthalmidae and Teiidae), and the two subfamilies of Teiidae (Teiinae and Tupinambinae) could be distinguished on the basis of sperm ultrastructure data. Significant differences in sperm dimensions between Cnemidophorus and Aspidoscelis support the recent splitting of these two lineages into different genera. Our results revealed high levels of inter-generic variability in sperm ultrastructure within Teiidae, which produces a data set useful in analyzing relationships between genera and families. In phylogenetic analyses, however, sampling multiple species within teiid genera is essential and recording sperm measurements may profitably complement qualitative ultrastructural characters, maximizing the information content of these structures.

“…In pygopodids the postorbitofrontal contacts or approaches the prefrontal, excluding or limiting participation of the frontal in the orbital margin ( Fig. 7A-C; Boulenger, 1885). The only geckos where a contact between prefrontal and postorbitofrontal has been found are Phelsuma lineata (Fig.…”

The enormous variation of the orbit in lepidosaurs is better conceptualized in terms of composition and configuration. Broadly, the orbit varies from having totally closed rim to being open posteriorly. Two processes are responsible for changes in the components of the circumorbital series, element loss and fusion. The resulting contacts among elements are the main factors determining orbital configuration. Here, we present a revision of the gekkotan circumorbital bones in the general context of the Lepidosauria. From observations of a sample of 105 species of gekkotans prepared using different techniques, we describe the main changes in the orbit and corroborate the presence or absence of some of the ambiguous elements such as the lacrimal and the jugal. The supraorbital bones of squamates are reviewed and some problems of homology are evaluated using recent phylogenenetic hypothesis. Anat Rec, 293:402-413, 2010. V V C 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

“…Até a então, a família Teiidae era reconhecida por uma definição mais ampla do que a atual, abrigando, além dos táxons que hoje reúne, também os gêneros atualmente reconhecidos como gimnoftalmídeos. Essa classificação, proposta por Boulenger (1885) ainda no final do século XIX, encontrou suporte em estudos baseados em morfologia, sendo utilizada até o começo deste século (Harris, 1985;Hoyos, 1998;Myers & Donnelly, 2001). Nesta proposta eram reconhecidos quatro grupos supragenéricos: um deles (Grupo I) reunia os gêneros que hoje compõem a família Teiidae sensu stricto, ao passo que os demais táxons, foram alocados em outros três grupos (II-IV) formados por gêneros que hoje fazem parte da família Gymnophthalmidae.…”
