Cnemidophorus View in CoL sp. 3
Taxonomic remarks. Cnemidophorus sp. 3 differs from other forms of the Cnemidophorus lemniscatus group in some aspects of scutellation and color pattern. It is under description by MAR-J.
Distribution and habitat. Cnemidophorus sp. 3 is endemic to Brazilian Amazonia, in Pará state, and until now known only from one enclave of open vegetation between the lower Trombetas and Nhamundá rivers, near Sapucuá Lake ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ). It is sexually dimorphic, terrestrial, and diurnal, and can found on open sandy soil, among grasses and under bushes (MAR-J field data). Even though Cnemidophorus sp. 3, C. lemniscatus , and C. cryptus are found in areas relatively close, they were not recorded in the same enclaves of open vegetation.
