The family Gymnophthalmidae is one of the most speciose lineages of lizards in the Neotropical region. Despite recent phylogenetic studies, the species diversity of this family is unknown and thus, its phylogenetic relationships remain unclear and its taxonomy unstable. We analyzed four mitochondrial (12S, 16S, Cytb, ND4) and one nuclear (c-mos) DNA sequences of Pholidobolus anomalus, Cercosaura manicata boliviana and Cercosaura sp., using the maximum likelihood method to give insights into the phylogenetic relationships of these taxa within Cercosaurinae. Our results suggest that Pholidolus anomalus is nested within the clade of Cercosaura spp., that material we collected near Oxapampa belongs to a new species of Cercosaura, and that lizards identified as Cercosaura manicata boliviana belong to a separate lineage, possibly a new genus. We assign Pholidobolus anomalus to Cercosaura, redescribe the species, and designate a neotype to replace the lost holotype. In addition, we describe the new species of Cercosaura, and comment about the taxonomic status of “Cercosaura manicata boliviana”incertae sedis.

秘鲁安第斯山脉安第斯裸眼科蜥蜴的一种新物种(Squamata:裸眼科)和一些分类学问题的解决

裸眼科(Gymnophthalmidae)是新热带地区最特殊的蜥蜴谱系之一。尽管最近进行了系统发育研究,但该科的物种多样性尚不清楚,因此,其系统发生关系仍不清楚,分类学也不稳定。我们使用最大似然方法分析了这些类群的系统发育关系,分析了四个异常线虫线虫,线虫线虫的线粒体(12S,16S,Cytb,ND4)和一个核(c-mos)DNA序列。在Cercosaurinae内。我们的结果表明,畸形Ph嵌套在Cercosaura进化枝内属,奥克萨潘帕附近收集的材料,我们属于一个新的物种Cercosaura确定为,和蜥蜴Cercosaura manicata boliviana属于一个独立的谱系,可能是一个新的属。我们将异常杆菌命名Cercosaura,重新描述该物种,并指定一个新的类型来代替丢失的完整型。此外,我们描述的新种Cercosaura,有关“的分类地位和评论Cercosaura manicata boliviana”地位未定
