INTRODUCTION This catalogue represents an attempt to make it possible for participants in the International Biological Program working in Latin America to identify the lizards encountered in the field. It was originally planned to include information on the ecology and ethology of the reptilian species, to permit field investigators to distinguish the unusual ecological event from the commonplace occurrence, but time has not permitted the inclusion of that degree of detail. We have instead focussed our attentions on the construction of a workable field manual with keys designed to help identification without laboratory facilities. We have not been entirely successful, because a few taxa cannot be separated without the use of a dissecting microscope or the checking of internal characteristics, but for the most part the keys can be used with little more than a hand lens for specimen examination.

Este catálogo representa un intento de posibilitar la identificación de lagartijas encontradas en el campo a los participantes del International Biological Program que trabajan en Sudamérica. Originariamente se había planeado la inclusión de información ecológica y etológica de las especies de reptiles, para permitir al investigador de campaña la distinción entre acontecimientos ecológicos desusados y los que son lugar común, pero la falta de tiempo impidió la inclusion de tal grado de detalles. En cambio hemos concentrado nuestra atención en la elaboración de un manual de campaña funcional con claves diseñadas para ayudar a la identificación sin las facilidades de un laboratorio. No hemos tenido éxito en todo porque unos pocos taxones no pueden ser separados sin usar el microscopio de disección o sin examinar las características internas, pero en su mayoría las claves se pueden usar con poco mas que un lente de aumento con que examinar el ejemplar.

The limits we have established for the area covered by this work are from the border between Mexico and' Guatemala south throughout continental South America and all off-shore islands within the continental shelf. The Galapagos and the islands of the Caribbean are not included.

Los límites que hemos establecido para el área cubierta por este trabajo son desde la frontera entre Méjico y Guatemala hasta el extremo sur de Sudamérica continental y todas las islas Las costeras dentro de la plataforma continental. islas Galápagos y del Caribe no han sido incluidas.

The synonymies presented for the taxa are Within each genus we include very abbreviated. only those generic synonyms whose type species are considered to belong to the genus under discussion. Only the original description for each genus is included, with no attempt made to document changes in the "generic concept". The type species, when given, has always been previously designated as such, unless we clearly indicate that we are taking We apologize for our such an action at this time. failure to indicate the method of type designation, but time did not permit us to undertake this difficult task. For each species we have included the original citation to it, its first assignment to its current generic position if other than as originally assigned, all "absolute" synonyms (i.e., those in which the holotype, lectotype, or neotype belongs to the species in which the synonym occurs), and, whenever possible, a citation to a recent work which includes a modern descripti"jnd/or a figure, to aid the user in identificati No other generic shifts, no misidentifications, and no "in part" references are included. The author's name is not separated in any way from the binomial in the citations to original descriptions. In all other citations, the author's name is separated from the binomial by a dash. Each citation includes the actual date of publication; the name exactly as it was spelled by the original author, including capitalization of specific names; the author; the journal; the volume or the number, which stands alone if possible but which is qualified by material in parentheses if necessary; the page on which the taxon is first named; illustrations; and finally the type locality, with summaries of any restrictions or later clarifications of it.

Los sinónimos de los taxones presentados están muy abreviados. En cada género se incluyen solamente aquellos sinónimos genéricos cuya especie tipo es considerada como perteneciente al género en discusión.

El nombre del autor no ha sido separado de ningún modo del binomio en las citas de las descripciones originales. En todas las otras citas el nombre del autor está separado del binomio por un guión. Cada cita incluye la fecha efectiva de la publicación; el nombre con la misma ortografía que usó autor, incluyendo nombres específicos con mayúscula; -el autor; la revista; el volumen o el número, por sí solos si es posible o con material aclaratorio entre paréntesis si es necesario; la página en que se nombra al taxón por primera vez; ilustraciones y, finalmente la localidad tipo con resúmenes de cualquier restricción o aclaración posterior.

INTRODUCTION

We have attempted to avoid any non-documented taxonomic changes in this catalogue, although it has proven necessary to make a few modifications When we have made such changes, we in some taxa. indicate it by the words "new combination" after the species heading, and we have given our reasons In those genera for so doing in the "Comments". prepared by cooperating herpetologists, however, we have not prevented the presentation of his concepts of the alignment of species within the genus, even though documentation has not been published In every insta.nce we have ascertained elsewhere. that prompt publication of documentation is anticipated before including the changes, but we In all cannot guarantee that it will be done. cases where material has been furnished by a cooperator, his name and address will be found at the beginning of the generic discussion, and he should be given full credit in any citations of that material.

The date of publication is always the actual date, insofar as we could determine it, and it does not always agree with the date given in the publication itself. When there is a difference, the latter date is given in parentheses after the volume number^ The only exception to this is volWe ume 4 of the Memorias do Instituto Butantan. learned too late to modify all of the many citations to this volume that it actually appeared in 1530, not 1525, as stated on the cover. All other volumes in the Memorias are cited here by actual year of publication, which is usually one or two years later than indicated on the publication.

The distribution given for each taxon is based on information in the literature, with additions and extensions from specimens we have been Some of our able to find in various collections. changes in known distribution have been documented, but we have made no attempt to do so for every modification we have included.

La distribución dada en cada taxón se basa en información sacada de la literatura con adiciones basados en ejemplares que hemos enconagregados y Algunos de nuestros trado en varias colecciones. cambios en la distribución conocida han sido docudocumentar todas intentado mentados, pero no hemos las modificaciones incluidas por nosotros.

The names of all political and geographic units within any country have been given as spelled by that country, but country names have been given in English usage, so that "Brasil" is "Brazil" and "Panamá" is "Panama". Where names but not boundaries have been changed, we use the modern name, even in the citation of type localities. Thus, all localities in "British Guiana" are here given as "Guyana". We have corrected errors in orthography throughout, if we could suecessfully document the error. Our primary source has been the series of gazetteers prepared by the United States Board on Geographic Names, although many additional sources have been checked.

Se dan los nombres de todas las unidades políticas y geográficas dentro de cada país de acuerdo a la ortografía de ese país, pero los nombres de los países se han escrito según la ortografía inglesa, así "Brasil" es "Brazil" y Donde los nombres han "Panamá" es "Panama". cambiado, pero no las fronteras, usamos el nombre Así aquí moderno, aún al citar localidades tipo. nos referimos a todos las localidades en "British Guiana" como "Guyana". Hemos corregido todos los errores ortografieos que pudieran ser documentados debidamente. Nuestra principal fuente de información ha sido la serie de gacetas preparadas por Board on Geographic Names del gobierno de los Estados Unidos, aunque también hemos consultado muchas otras fuentes.

Most of the keys presented here are the standard dichotomous type, although occasionally we have found it useful to include "trichotomies" and the user should watch for this possibility. In such instances, of course, a choice is made from three possibilities rather than two. In the case of very large genera, however, we have intro-

INTRODUCTION Any attempt at writing duced a different concept. keys for poorly l<nown, large genera is likely to be futile, and we have avoided this by presenting as much data as possible in the form of a matrix. This permits "random entry" identification, for the user can select any character in the matrix he wishes to check, and eliminate all taxa that do not possess that character, finally arriving at a considerably reduced number of taxa (hopefully, only one) after checking a series of characters. This concept has formed the basis of computer identification, since the machine can do such sorting more rapidly and efficiently than the human, and the random entry matrices presented here are organized in such a way that they can be incorporated in the computer programs now available for such machine sorting. It is our assumption that this method of identification will be used more and more in the future, and we hope that presenting these matrices will encourage others to begin to organize their data similarly, thus anticipating the day when computer keys are available to all users. A work of this magnitude becomes very dependent upon the cooperation and collaboration of many people. We wish to express our gratitude to all those who have helped us in any way. The following list indicates the number of individuals who have contributed to this work. While we have tried to make the list inclusive, the omission of anyone who has aided us should be regarded solely as the consequence of the faulty nature of our memories rather than failure to appreciate the help.

Probablemente resultaría inútil intentar escribir una clave de un genero grande, poco conocido, hemos evitado esto al presentar la mayor cantidad de datos posibles en forma de una matriz. Esto permite la identificacion de "entradas al azar," por que el usuai— io puedo seleccionar dentro de la matriz cualquier carácter que desee poner a prueba y eliminar todos los taxones que no posean tal carácter, llegando finalmente a un número sumamente reducido de taxones (es de esperar que sea uno solo) después de revi§ar una serie de caracteres. Este concepto constituye la base de la identificación por computadora, ya que esta máquina puede selecccionar más rápida y eficazmente que el ser humano y las matrices de entradas al azar presentadas aquT están organizadas en tal forma que se las puede incorporar en los programas para computadoras ahora disponibles para tal selección automática. Suponemos que este método de identificación ae usará cada vez más en el futuro y esperamos que la presentacion de estas matrices alentará a otros a empezar a organizar sus datos en forma similar, previendo asf el d'a en que haya claves para computadoras disponibles para todos los usuarios. Un trabajo de esta magnitud depende en alto grado de la cooperación de mucha gente. La siguiente lista indica el número de personas que han contribuido a esta obra. Aunque hemos tratado de incluir a todos en esta lista, la omisión de alguno de los que nos ayudaron debe ser considerada solamente como consecuencia de la naturaleza defectuosa de nuestra memoria, pero no como una inhabilidad de apreciar la ayuda recibida.

In addition to the above, we wish also to acknowledge several specific contributions to the work involved in the production of this volume. By far the bulk of the typing work was done by Jean Middleton, and the overall appearance of the text owes a great deal to her attention to detail, layout, arrangement, and so on. She functioned as a general manager of the entire project, and we cannot overestimate the magnitude of her contribution. Beatriz Moisset Peters spent many hours translating and correcting the Spanish versions of the text after one of us (Donoso) returned to South America, and she also has contributed greatly to our overall accuracy. Additional typing assistance came from Mrs. Richard Banks and Dolores Icarangal. The figures in the text unless otherwise indicated were drawn by Thomas Yuskiw, with the exception of those illustrating the genus L olaemus . which were done by Roberto Donoso. We wish finally to record our debt to Braulio Orejas Miranda, who worked with us on this catalogue. He perhaps should have been recorded as an author rather than as a collaborator, since all three of us have worked closely together on the entire project. i

Además de los mencionados, deseamos espresar nuestro reconocimiento por varias contribuciones específicas referentes a la producción de este volumen. Jean Middleton mecanografió la mayor parte de este trabajo y la apariencia general del texto ganó mucho gracias a su interés en los detalles. Ella operó como administradora general de todo el proyecto y no es posible sobreestimar el valor de su contribución. Beatriz Moisset Peters dedicó muchas horas a la traducción y corrección de la version en español después uno de También nosotros (Donoso) regresara a Sudamérica. contribuyó en gran medida a la exactitud del Las señoras Richard Banks y Dolores trabajo. Icarangal mecanografiaron el resto del trabajo. Las figuras del texto fueron hechas por Thomas Yuskiw a menos que se especifique otra cosa, excepto las que ilustran el género L olaemus que fueron hechas por Roberto Donoso. Finalmente deseamos expresar nuestra deuda para con Braulio Orejas Miranda, que trabajó con nosotros en este catálogo. Talvez se lo debería incluir como uno de los autores en vez de colaborador, ya que los tres trabajamos en estrecho contacto a través de todo el proyecto. i
