G. multilineatus, the type series of which was 
destroyed by fire in the Museu Bocage 
(Broadley 2007). Griffin (2003) reassessed and 
recognized the nomen G. auritus as a valid 
species (Bates et al. 2014) as did Broadley and 
Cotterill (2004) and Broadley (2007). Accord¬ 
ing to Bates et al. (2013), G. auritus appears to 
be closely related to G. nigrolineatus, but they 
are morphologically distinguishable (Broadley 
2007).

species (Bates et al. 2013). For some time 
G. bulsi was treated as a synonym of the poorly known Gerrhosaurus multilineatus Bocage, 1866 
(Broadley 1971), although it is currently regarded as valid (Broadley and Cotterill 2004; Broadley
