The collection site is located in a mountain forest enclave belonging to the Caatinga domain. This record extends the species distribution towards central region of the state. Leiosaurid lizards of the genus Enyalius comprise nine September 2009, we collected one juvenile and one adult recognized species (Rodrigues et al. 2006), restricted to E. bibronii in a forest enclave inside the Caatinga biome, in forested areas in Atlantic Rainforest remnants of eastern the municipality of Tenente Laurentino Cruz (06°10’80” S, Brazil, the Brazilian Amazon rainforest (Jackson 1978; 36°43’38” W, 751 m asl). Additionally, 14 specimens were Ávila-Pires 1995), patches of savanna and gallery forests collected from October 2009 to April 2010 (Figure 2), six of the Cerrado in Central Brazil, and in scattered patches at another location (06°05’94” S, 36°42’94” W, 710 m a.s.l.) of the semiarid Caatingas (Rodrigues et al. 2006). In general, Enyalius are diurnal and insectivorous lizards that 2869, 2870, 2926-2929, 3208-3210, 3301-3303, and 3577- use tree trunks, shrubs, fallen logs or leaves as perches, 3580)within arethe deposited same municipality. at the Herpetological Voucher specimens Collection (CHBEZ of the but are also commonly found on the ground or leaf litter (Jackson 1978; Sazima and Haddad 1992; Vitt et al. 1996; Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, in Natal, Rio Grande do Zamprogno et al. 2001; Teixeira et al. 2005).

Leaf anole, Anolis planiceps. [http://www.trinidad-tobagoherps.org/Images/planiceps.jpg, downloaded 24 October 2016] TRAITS. Formerly known as Anolis chrysolepis or Norops chrysolepis, the leaf anole measures up to 76mm from snout to vent according (D'Angiolella et al., 2011). The pads of their feet are specialised to help them rest on leaves and trunks (Fig. 1). They have a spotted red patch of skin below theirs jaws, which is extendable, called the dewlap (Fig. 2). The region along the lizard's spine has larger scales than the adjacent areas with those located in the mid-dorsal area being the largest. Along their heads are two prominent ridges as well as ridged (keeled) scales located above the eyes (Fig. 3). The dorsal scales of the leaf anole are several shades of brown while the ventral scales are a pale cream colour; patterns vary greatly within populations (Fig. 4) (Vanzolini and Williams, 1970). Male anoles have longer tails and the females have wider bodies and smaller dewlaps than males (Vitt and Zani, 2011). DISTRIBUTION. Leaf anoles may be found in a relatively wide range from east Venezuela to Guyana, Suriname, Columbia, Trinidad and Brazil (Fig. 5). They are found throughout the island of Trinidad primarily in terrestrial, highly forested areas (D'Angiolella et al, 2011).

The native species of amphibians and reptiles of Uruguay were categorized according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Out of 47 amphibian species, seven are listed as Critically Endangered (CR), five as Endangered (EN), one as Vulnerable (VU), three as Near Threatened (NT), and two as Data Deficient (DD); the remaining species are considered to be Least Concern (LC).

An important reproductive strategy evolved among lizards is related to the increase of clutch size. Since last century, researchers have tried to understand to what extent clutch size is related to female body size. Most studies analyze data of several species from the Northern Hemisphere, but data on lizards from the tropical zone still remain scattered in primary papers. Based on data obtained from the current literature, we analyzed the relationship between clutch size and female body size in Brazilian lizards. We found a positive relationship, indicating that, as female body size increases, so does clutch size among species. However, the strength of this relationship may vary according to family. There are some taxa in which clutch size is mainly attributed to phylogeny. Further studies are needed to better understand this life history trait. Keywords: Brazil, life history, lizards, reproduction. Introduction female size (Tinkle et al. 1970), it is positively cor- related with female size in most lizard species The selective constraints acting on the life history (Fitch 1970, Cox et al.
