Selvasaura is a genus of the lizard family Gymnophthalmidae. The genus contains three species. [1]
Hoplocercidae are a family of lizards native to the tropical forests, woodlands and savanna-like habitats of Central and South America. Alternatively they are recognized as a subfamily, Hoplocercinae. 20 species in three genera are described.
Enyalioides is a genus of lizards in the family Hoplocercidae. The genus is native to the northern part of South America and Panama.
Macropholidus is a genus of lizards in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The genus is endemic to South America.
Pholidobolus is a genus of lizards in the family Gymnophthalmidae. They occur in north-western South America.
Proctoporus is a genus of medium-sized lizards assigned to the family Gymnophthalmidae. Species in the genus Proctoporus occur in Yungas forests and wet montane grasslands on the upper edge of the Amazonian forest, between 1,000 and 4,000 metres elevation, from Central Peru in the north to Central Bolivia in the south.
The Key tegu is a species of lizard in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The species is endemic to Ecuador.
Gastrotheca is a genus of frogs in the family Hemiphractidae. They are found in Central America south of Costa Rica and in South America. Most species occur in the American Cordillera from southern Costa Rica to north-western Argentina. This genus makes up the bulk of marsupial frog diversity; formerly it was placed in the "Leptodactylidae" assemblage.
Phrynopus is a genus of frogs of the family Strabomantidae. Their common name is Andes frogs. They are endemic to Peru and inhabit the upper humid montane forest and supra-treeline grassland in the Cordillera Oriental, with one record from the Peruvian Cordillera Occidental.
Oreobates is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. Most species were formerly in the genus Ischnocnema, but were moved to this revalidated genus following a 2006 revision. Its sister taxon is Lynchius.
Stenocercus is a genus of South American lizards, commonly called whorltail iguanas, of the family Tropiduridae. This genus has 80 valid described species.
Pristimantis is a very large genus of frogs distributed in the southern Caribbean islands and in Central and South America from Honduras to northern Argentina and southern Brazil. With 596 described species, the genus had more species than any other genus of vertebrate animals. Many of these species genus are endemic to the Northwestern Andean montane forests ecoregion in north-western South America.
Lynchius is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. The name honours herpetologist John D. Lynch. The distribution of Lynchius is restricted to the Cordillera Oriental in southern Ecuador and Cordillera de Huancabamba in northern Peru.
Noblella is a genus of frogs in the family Strabomantidae. They are found on the eastern slopes of the Andes and in the Amazon Basin in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and western Brazil. The name refers to Gladwyn K. Noble, who described the first species.
Potamites is a genus of lizards in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The genus is restricted to northern South America and southern Central America. They are semiaquatic and found near streams.
Gelanesaurus is a genus of lizards in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The genus contains two species, which are native to Colombia and Ecuador. Both species were included in the genus Potamites until 2016 when they were moved to the genus Gelanesaurus.
Gelanesaurus flavogularis is a species of lizard in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The species is endemic to Ecuador.
Gelanesaurus cochranae, also known commonly as Cochran's neusticurus, is a species of lizard in the family Gymnophthalmidae. The species is native to northwestern South America.
