Specimens examined. 42 Abstract The clade Hoplocercinae includes 13 species assigned to three taxa traditionally ranked as genera—Enyalioides, Hoplo- cercus, and Morunasaurus—, and distributed on both sides of the Andes from Panama to Brazil. We provide a revised taxonomy of Hoplocercinae including synonymies, diagnoses, standardized descriptions, distributions, notes on color and natural history, and a key for species identification. We also propose vernacular names in English and Spanish for all spe- cies. Key words: Enyalioides, Hoplocercus, Iguanidae, lizards, Morunasaurus, Neotropics, taxonomy Accepted by S.
