Siderolamprus rozellae, Rozella's lesser galliwasp, is a species of lizard of the Diploglossidae family. [2] It is found in Mexico.
It was formerly classified in the genus Celestus , but was moved to Siderolamprus in 2021. [3]
Celestus is a genus of diploglossid lizards mostly endemic to Jamaica and containing about 11 species, though three of these may be extinct. Formerly, this genus had more than 31 species, but a 2021 phylogenetic study found this classification to be paraphyletic and split those species into their own genera. A more recent study found that several ecomorphs exist on Jamaica including a swamp ecomorph, a tree ecomorph, and a ground ecomorph.
Diploglossidae is a family of anguimorph lizards native to the Americas, with most genera being endemic to Hispaniola. Most members of this family are known as galliwasps. They were formerly considered a subfamily of Anguidae, but genetic evidence has shown them to be less closely related to other members of Anguidae than Anniellidae is.
