New Species of Lizards from Auyantepui and La Escalera in the Venezuelan Guayana, with Notes on “Microteiid” Hemipenes (Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae)

Abstract: Names are provided for two montane gymnophthalmid lizards that have been long known from the Venezuelan Guayana, but that were not described by other workers because specimens had been lost.Euspondylus auyanensis, new species (5 Anadia sp. auctorum), is known only from the summit of Auyantepui, where it was originally discovered by S. Gorzula in 1984; a later specimen, the holotype, was collected by Renaud Boistel in 1998. The monophyly of Euspondylus has not been established and the generic assignment is tent… Show more

“…Close comparison of the new species with R. leucosticta , the geographically closest species, was based on an examination of 12 additional specimens of R. leucosticta collected on Wei‐Assipu‐tepui, Guyana, a small tepui located close to Mount Roraima (the type locality of R. leucosticta ). Terminology for morphological characters and scale counts mostly follow Uzzell (), Harris (), Kizirian (), Myers & Donnelly (), and Myers, Rivas Fuenmayor & Jadin (). All morphometric data were taken from the preserved specimens to the nearest 0.01 mm, and rounded to the nearest 0.1 mm, under a Leica stereo dissecting microscope using electronic digital callipers; a piece of string was used to measure tail length.…”

“…Subseqüentemente, a morfologia hemipeniana passou a ser usada de forma freqüente nos trabalhos envolvendo a sistemática de serpentes em vários níveis (por exemplo, Dunn, 1928;Vellard, 1928;1946;Dowling, 1957;1969;Myers, 1974;Branch & Wade, 1976;Dowling & Duellman, 1978;Zaher, 1999, Myers et al, 2009 muitos outros), enquanto para os lagartos esta fonte de informação foi muito menos explorada.…”

Dentre esses trabalhos, deve-se destacar a produção de Thomas Uzzell que, além de fornecer descrições bastante detalhadas e precisas da morfologia hemipeniana de diversos gêneros da família, chegou a fazer uso da morfologia hemipeniana para postular hipóteses de relacionamento entre vários táxons, como nas comparações entre os órgãos…”
