Description
Lagartijo acuatico rudo
EBRG 4165 (adult male, field number L-1319) and 4168 (subadult male, field number L-1323).
The presence of a third species of Neusticurus in Sarisariñama is not surprising, as some localities in the Guiana Shield harbor two or three sympatric taxa. At Sierra de Lema, in a locality like Paso el Danto, La Escalera region, Estado Bolívar, Venezuela, N. bicarinatus, N. racenisi and N. rudis occur sympatrically (Fig. 16). McDiarmid and Paolillo (1988) reported N. medemi and Neusticurus sp. from Neblina.
The most widespread and common species, however, are N. racenisi and N. rudis, which are commonly seen sympatrically in many other sites, like Auyan-tepui (Avila-Pires 1995; Uzzell 1966) and Guaiquinima (Donnelly and Myers 1991). Neusticurus rudis is most likely a complex of two or more species (Donnelly and Myers 1991).
