Placosoma limaverdorum is a species of lizard in the family Gymnophthalmidae. [1] It is endemic to Brazil.
Gymnophthalmidae is a family of lizards with at least 250 species, sometimes known commonly as spectacled lizards or microteiids. They are called "spectacled" because of their transparent lower eyelids, which allow them to still see with closed eyes. As in most lizards, except geckos, these eyelids are movable. The Alopoglossidae have been recently moved from this family.
Placosoma is a lizard genus in the family Gymnophthalmidae. They are endemic to southern Brazil.
