In this study we analyzed the diet of the gymnophthalmid lizard Ecpleopus gaudichaudii Duméril & Bibron, 1839, a typical inhabitant of the forest-floor leaf litter, in an Atlantic Forest area in the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeast- ern Brazil. The 26 individuals sampled during the study had a mean snout-vent length (SVL) of 36.2 ± 4.2 mm and a mean jaw width (JW) of 4.1 ± 0.5 mm. We did not find differences in SVL between males and females, though the sexes differed in JW when the effect of body size was factored out, with females presenting higher values. The diet of the lizards was composed exclusively of arthropods, especially isopods and orthopterans.

Except for gymnophthalmids and scincids, a family typical organization of mesopneumonia occurs. In cordylids, gerrhosaurids, xantusiids and lacertids the complete right ventral mesopneumonium (VMp) inserts cranially on the posterior vena cava and caudally on the dorsal surface of the right liver lobe. The left VMp is attached to the ventrolateral body wall in cordylids and lacertids; in gerrhosaurids the left VMp is short and inserts on the pericardium and the posterior vena cava; in xantusiids the left VMp is reduced and the lungs are fused cranially with the pericardium. In scincids the VMp of both sides vary in length and insert on the ventral mesentery, or may be lacking completely. The visceral topology of the gymnophthalmids Calyptommatus and Notobachia differs from the general scincomorph pattern, with the liver and stomach elongated and situated on the right and left side of the body cavity, respectively. The left and the right VMp extend over the entire length of the lungs and insert on the ventral mesentery.

Recent stud- ies have suggested that two cercosauriine genera, Neusticurus and Proctoporus, are polyphyletic. The aim of the cur- rent study was to rectify the polyphyletic relationships and construct a phylogenetic taxonomy of the Cercosaurini that is congruent with evolutionary history. Neusticurus is divided into two genera, one of them new (Potamites), based on the clades recovered by molecular studies and previously discussed morphological data. Proctoporus is divided into three genera, one of which is new (Petracola), while an older name (Riama) is resurrected for another. All five genera are described and defined and taxonomic keys are presented. This study represents an important advance in rectifying the taxonomy of the Cercosaurini. Many other para- and polyphyletic genera remain in the Gymnophthalmidae and much future work on this group is warranted. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2005, 143, 405–416.

    Proceedings of the United States National Museum ^^^5^^ SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION . WASHINGTON, D.C. THE LIZARDS OF ECUADOR, A CHECK LIST AND KEY By James A. Peters Curator, Division of Reptiles This paper constitutes the second of a series devoted to the establishment of a framework upon which additional studies on the ecology and zoogeog- raphy of the Ecuadorian herpetofauna can be based. The first paper dealt with the snakes (J. Peters, 1960), and later studies will be concerned with the amphibians. The principle established in the earlier list has been abrogated, at least in part, since I have been forced to revise the genus Ameiva strictly on the basis of the Ecuadorian political unit. But I repeat my earlier opinion that such analyses are dangerous and can easily result in perpetuation of difficulties. Methods The method of organization in this check list is the same as that of the list of Ecuadorian snakes (J. Peters, 1960). The genera are presented alphabetically, and the species are alphabetical within their genus. It is, I think, true that the average user of the list will be interested in ease and speed of use, not in my contribution to the intricacies of the higher categories i 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 119 of lizard classification (the basic phylogenetic position of the genera con- cerned is presented on p. 3), For each taxon I have presented a very brief synonymy, beginning with a citation to the original description of that taxon and its type locality, plus the holotype and its location in paren- theses.

The new species inhabits the montane forests of northeastern Peru at elevations between 1,788–1,888 m. It differs from other species ofCercosaura by having the dorsum lighter than flanks, a white labial stripe that continues along the ventrolateral region until the hind limb insertion, subdigital lamellae on toes not tuberculate, 6–8 longitudinal rows of ventral scales, 32–36 transverse rows of dorsal scales, and dorsal surface of forelimbs and fingers dark brown.

Despite recent phylogenetic studies, the species diversity of this family is unknown and thus, its phylogenetic relationships remain unclear and its taxonomy unstable. We analyzed four mitochondrial (12S, 16S, Cytb, ND4) and one nuclear (c-mos) DNA sequences of Pholidobolus anomalus, Cercosaura manicata boliviana and Cercosaura sp., using the maximum likelihood method to give insights into the phylogenetic relationships of these taxa within Cercosaurinae.

The gymnophthalmid lizard genus Placosoma environs of Rio de Janeiro, an area also visited Tschudi, 1847 is only known from few localities by Natterer. Uzzell (1959) further considered and is restricted to eastern Brazil. Currently, the Ecpleopus lutzae Loveridge, 1944, a junior genus comprises four species: Placosoma cor- synonym of P. cordylinum, and transferred dylinum Tschudi, 1847, P. glabellum (Peters, Prionodactylus champsonotus Werner (1910) to 1870), P. cipoensis Cunha, 1966, and P. champ- Placosoma as a subspecies of P. cordylinum. sonotus (Werner, 1910). Moreover, he placed Euspondylus cupreus Tschudi (1847) described Placosoma Andersson, 1916, and Elaphrosaura spitzi cordylinum, based on a single specimen collected Amaral, 1932, in the synonymy P. c. champ- by Johann Natterer, and reported the collection sonotus. Subsequently, Uzzell (1962) examined site as “nördlichen Brasilien” (= northern Brazil). the holotype of Elaphrosaura spitzi (MZUSP Later, in the only available revision for this 762, former DZSP 762), along with two genus, Uzzell (1959) discussed the type locality of P. cordylinum and revised the taxonomy of that E. spitzi was a synonym of P. c. champ- the genus.
