TYPE SPECIES: Aparasphenodon brunoi

Miranda­Ribeiro, 1920, by monotypy.

DIAGNOSIS: For the purposes of this paper we consider that the 83 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes autapomorphic of Aparasphenodon brunoi are synapomorphies of this genus. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. A possible morphological synapomorphy of this genus is the presence of a prenasal bone (Trueb, 1970a.)

COMMENTS: We included a single species of this genus, and as such we did not test its monophyly, but we consider it possible based on the morphological evidence mentioned above.
