Lacerta striata Daudin

Plate 16

1824 Isis : 664 (listed).

1825 Beitra¨ge: 186.

1829 Abbildungen: Lief. 13.

PRESENT STATUS: Kentropyx calcarata Spix, 1825 (a nomen protectum designated by Myers et al., 2011: 12).

REMARKS: Wied described and illustrated one specimen. The plate is a lizard in lateral view in color, with an uncolored ventral view showing details of scutellation. There are no specimens in the collection.

Myers et al. (2011) clarified the nomenclatural status of Wied’s lost specimen. Lacerta striata sensu Wied (non Daudin nec sensu Merrem) was a misidentification of Daudin’s (1802) species; the name sensu Wied is an unavailable name in the sense of the Code (ICZN 1999, art. 49). Wied’s specimen had represented an unnamed species, for which he had intended the manuscript name ‘‘ Lacerta vittata ,’’ but he subsequently misidentified it as Lacerta striata Daudin, 1802 , based on Merrem (1820: 65).

Wied never published the name ‘‘ Lacerta vittata ,’’ but he had transmitted it to Schinz, who qualified it as an available name (Schinz, 1822). Hoogmoed (1973: 301) concluded that Schinz’s unused name is a senior synonym of Kentropyx calcarata Spix, 1825 , but never submitted a petition to conserve Spix’s wellknown name. Myers et al. (2011) qualified the senior name L. vittata Schinz, 1822 , as a nomen oblitum and the junior name Kentropyx calcarata Spix, 1825 , as a nomen protectum.
