This genus of tiny (to 200 mm TL) lizards has long been en
evolutionary enigma. Over time herpetologists have tentatively
allied them with skinks, geckos and pygopodids (which are now part
of the Gekkonidae). There is still no consensus regarding their
systematic position. Rieppel (1984) allies dibamids with skinks of
the Acontias complex. [ eng ] |
