Anadia gr. ocellata Gray, 1845 : Figure 8G

Material examined. Table 2.

This small lizard may be distinguished from most other mid- to low-elevation gymnophthalmid lizards in having an acuminate snouth and elongate body in combination with smooth head and dorsal scales. Its color pattern includes a series of lateral white spots between

the fore and hind limbs ( Oftedal 1974, Savage 2002). Usually, anterior most spots are bordered by black, forming ocelli. Although there is no evidence of Anadia ocellata for the Magdalena river valley, we assigned the specimen MHUAR 12694 to Anadia gr. ocellata because its dorsal coloration and 55 transversal rows in contrast to the 44–48 dorsal rows found in A. rhombifera , another species present in the Magdalena river valley ( Oftedal 1974, Savage 2002).
