| Abstract: | "Phylogenetic relationships of the whiptail lizards of the genus Cnemidophorus are inferred based on a combined analysis of mitochondrial DNA, morphology, and allozymes. Within the Teiini, Teius and Dicrodon are the most basal lineages, and these two taxa form a graded series leading to a cnemidophorine clade containing Ameiva, Cnemidophorus, and Kentropyx. Cnemidophorus monophyly is not supported, with members of the neotropical 'C.' lemniscatus species group (except 'C.' longicaudus) being more closely related to species in other neotropical cnemidophorine taxa (Ameiva and Kentropyx). Ameiva is also paraphyletic. The 'Cnemidophorus' lemniscatus species group is also paraphyletic, with a 'C.' murinus + 'C.' lemniscatus complex clade being more closely related to Kentropyx than to 'C.' lacertoides, 'C.' longicaudus, and/or 'C.' ocellifer. Although the 'C.' lemniscatus species group is paraphyletic, the three remaining bisexual 'Cnemidophorus' species groups (deppii, sexlineatus, and ti... |
