Remarks. Based on females and males ex Amphisbaena alba (Linnaeus) (Amphisbaenidae) , from S„o Paulo state, Brazil ( Flechtmann & Johnston 1990).
Resolution of relationships among the remaining five genera could not be resolved with any confidence, effectively leaving a polytomy of Narceoheterozercon , Afroheterozercon , Maracazercon , Heterozercon , and Allozercon . The grouping is characterized by the following state changes: anterior margin gnathotectum not serrate (16, reversed in some Heterozercon ); posterior extension of lateral lips long, extending distinctly past hyp 2 (20, exception Heterozercon ); sternal lyrifissures iv 3 in male present (54.0, reversed in a few Allozercon ); insertion paranal setae (pa) posterior to the anus (72, exception some Heterozercon ); femora II seta pv in male spine (108, reversed in Narceoheterozercon ); trochanters III seta al in male distinct spine (112, reversed in Narceoheterozercon ex Auburn C, Afroheterozercon pachybolus , and a few Heterozercon ).
In general, the genera in this group can be distinguished by a set of characters involving the shape of setae, including the marginal opisthosomal setae (77, 78), the lateral and ventral setae on femora II of the male (105–107), ventral seta pv on genua and tibiae II of the male (109–110), and tarsi II seta pl1 (111).
