Lacerta bimaculata Sparrman. 



Boul. Cat. Liz. II. p. 29. AnoUs Leadiii? 



In K. Vet. Akad. Handl. 1784, p. 169 Sparrman, Director 

 of the Museum of the R. Academ}' of Science before Quensel, 

 describes a new species of lizards, named Lacerta bimaculata, 

 which from West India (St. Eustachius) bad been sent to 

 the museum of tbe Court Marschal, Carl de Gebr, by Dr. 

 AcRELius, and which came afterwards together with de Geer's 

 other collections to the R. Academy of Science. 



According to Quensel tliere where three specimens of this 

 lizard found in the same jar, all type-specimens of Sparrman, 

 and no doubt exists that the three specimens, labeled Lacerta 

 biinacidafa by Quensel, at present found in the R. Museum 

 and kept in the same jar, really are Sparrman's types. They 

 are, as also Boulenger seems to believe (Boul. Cat. Liz. II, 

 p. 29), Änolis Lcachii Dum & Bibr., which thus must be 

 named Anolis bimaculatus (Sparrm.). The specimens are all 

 males, very well preserved, with very distinct large black 

 spöts on the shoulder and smaller ones on the the back 

 and sides. 



Total length 200 mm., length of the body (to tbe vent) 70 ram.

Lacerta sputator Sparrman. 



Boul. Cat. Liz. I, p. 219, Sphcerodactylus sputator? 



As also Lacerta himaculata this lizard came from Dr. 

 AcRELius to Mus. de (xeer. and afterwards to this museum, 

 where now there is a jar, labeled »Lacerta sputator nov. sp.y> 

 by Quensel, and containing three lizards, being the same num- 

 ber as is given bj^ Sparrman and Quensel. They are evi- 

 dently the types of Sparrmans' Lacerta sputator. 



Most authors have regarded it to be the species which 

 in Boul. cat. (loc. cit.) is called Sph(Erodactylus sputator. 

 Though we find in two of the specimens the characteristic 

 cross-bands, the large keeled scales on the back distinctly in-
