Family TEIIDAE 



Genus AM EI V A Meyer 



The writers are now engaged in the preparation of a complete 

 taxonomic revision of the genus Ameiva, but are unable to present 

 the final results pertaining to the South American forms at this 

 time. 



AMEIVA AMEIVA AMEIVA (Linnaeus) 



1758. Lacerta ameiva Linnaeus. Syst. Nat., ed. 10, vol. 1, p. 202 (type local- 

 ity, Brazil). 



1915. Ameiva ameiva ameiva Baeboub and Noble, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 

 vol. 59, p. 462. 



Among the specimens in the collection of the United States Na- 

 tional Museum listed below, Nos. 22526 and 60685 may be regarded 

 as intergrades between aTneiva and praesiffnis. The white spotting 

 in these rises higher on the back than in tj^pical ameiva^ but less 

 than in typical praesignis.
