V. A LIST OF THE SOUTH AMERICAN LIZARDS OF THE 



CARNEGIE MUSEUM, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF 



FOUR NEW SPECIES. 



By Lawrence Edmonds Griffin. 



(Plates XXXII-XXXV.) 



The South American lizards in the Carnegie Museum, with few 

 exceptions, have been derived from the collections of J. D. Haseman, 

 H. H. Smith, and Jose Steinbach. Information of a general character 

 in regard to these collections has been published in the Memoirs of the 

 Carnegie Museum, Volume VII, 1916, page 163, et seq. It is quite 

 characteristic of herpetological collections made in South America 

 that a small one, such as that described in the following pages, should 

 contain a number of rare and new species. 



Class REPTILIA. 



Subclass DIAPSIDA. 



Order SQUAMATA. 



Suborder SAURIA. 



Family GECKONID^ Cope. 



Genus Gonatodes Fitzinger. 



I. Gonatodes hasemani sp. nov. (Plate XXXII.) 



Digits slender, basal phalanges cylindrical, with a few moderately 

 enlarged plates beneath. Snout obtusely pointed, a little longer than 

 the distance between the eye and the ear-opening, one and a half times 

 the diameter of the orbit, equal to the width of the crown at the 

 hinder edge of the orbit. Rostral nearly twice as broad as high, 

 showing a trace of a median division, deeply incised behind; a small 

 internasal on each side, separated by a smaller scale which enters 

 the notch of the rostral. Nostril between the rostral, internasal, first 

 labial, and two small scales. Six upper labials, the fifth below the 

 center of the eye. Six lower labials, the last almost reaching a vertical
