Mabuya sp.

Camp V. Not collected.

Several individuals of a forest dwelling, brown-tailed Mabuya were observed in sunny forest clearings beside Canaracuni creek. They were foraging among logs and fallen branches. Mabuya systematics is still very much in flux. Miralles et al. (2005) presented the basic taxonomy of Venezuelan Mabuya . Most probably, the only species living in lowland forests through the Venezuelan Guayana, with brown tail is M. nigropunctata . Another Guayanan species, M. carvalhoi , has a blue tail (Avila Pires 1995; Miralles et al. 2005).
