First formal records of Stenocercus doellojuradoi (Freiberg, 1944) (Squamata, Tropiduridae) from the Paraguayan Chaco

Abstract

Stenocercus is a genus widely distributed geographically and ecologically, from the north of the Andes mountain range and surrounding lowlands, to southern Brazil and central Argentina. Herein we present the first records of Stenocercus doellojuradoi for Paraguay. We discussed morphological variations found in the specimens of Paraguay, in addition to possible threats to the conservation of the species in the locality where it was recorded.
