Gongylus (Eumeces) lessonii Duméril & Bibron, 1839: 654 .
Status. Alloneonym (replacement name), for Scincus cyanurus Lesson, 1830 .
Onomatophore. Same as for the replaced nomen. Specimen represented in figure 2 of plate 4 in Lesson (1830a; Fig. 1 View FIG ).
Onymotope. Same as for the replaced nomen. Islands of Pacific Ocean cited in Lesson (1828, 1831; Table 1 View TABLE ).
COMMENT
Duméril & Bibron (1839: 655) clearly stated that they created a different name for the taxon as the name of Lesson is not correct in regard to the character he indicated: the coloration of the tail is variable within the species and there are other species that share that character. So Eumeces lessonii is not a poieonym (new name) but a neonym (remplacement name).
