Family Diploglossidae 4-19
Catalog of the Family Diploglossidae Harold De Lisle 2017 Cover: Diploglossus fasciatus Photo by Daniel R. Lordelo Back cover: Celestus warreni Photo by Milo Ko řínek Email: [email protected] Family Diploglossidae The lizard family Diploglossidae is distributed in the West Indies, Central America, and South America. The family contains three genera Celestus has 33 species and Diploglossus with 14 species. Both share a similar snout, elongated cylindrical body with short well developed limbs. The genus Ophiodes has 5 species. As the Latin name suggests, they have a snake-like body, with not front limbs and only small rudimentary hind limbs. The family species have a body covered by cycloid scales that are underlain by osteoderms having a distinctive, peaked, gliding surface. The family contains both egglayers and viviparous species. The larger species can produce more than 20 offspring. Savage et al (2008) list the members of the Diploglossidae with the claw as the definitive character: exposed claws in Celestus and claws sheated in the other genera. Pyron & Burbrink (2013) found Diploglossus and Celestus are strongly supported as paraphyletic with respect to each other and to Ophiodes , but they had data on only six taxa.

Color De Vida Foundation: Knocking Doors
www.funcovi.org Color de Vida Foundation: Knocking Doors Dear Friends: First at all, We would like to transmit our more effusive affections and regards, being thankful for let us reach you and show you the profile and a brief review of our humble work. At the time o introduce our NGO, we want to remark that in the middle of the endless needs that affect the countries like ours, it is at least comforting to find spaces where the volunteer service become an outstanding exercise of kindness and love; these efforts nevertheless, usually are insufficient considering the huge deficiencies from certain sectors and the limited resources available to this kind of institutions devoted in this Christian mission of solidarity. Established and incorporated according to the Dominican Law 122-05 about NGOs, (RNC No. 430054909) The Color of Life Foundation (Color de Vida) works in highly marginalized neighborhoods , located at the North side of the town in Esperanza, at the Valverde province (Northwest of the country) where the poverty variables (unhealthiness, undernourishment and illiteracy) are really alarming; We are putting all the persistence that humanly is possible to correct some of these matters, helping a lot of children around the area, but we certainly need as much aid as possible to make our work more effective. Foods, vitamins, equipment, medical aid, help in the allocation of professors or the sponsorship of the children, would be some of the possibilities that we put in your hands to help us to help them, knowing about your highest sensitivity and human quality, we have faith that do your best efforts to collaborate with this cause, that in essence, must be the one of all.
