| Comment | Phylogenetics: Pholidobolus anomalus does not belong to Pholidobolus according to Montanucci (1973) and TORRES-CARVAJAL et al. 2014. Not included by TORRES-CARVAJAL & MAFLA-ENDARA 2013 but probably due to the lack of samples. The issue was solved by Mamani et al. 2020 who assigned anomala to Cercosaurua. |
| Etymology | The specific epithet “anomalus” is a nominative adjective in ancient Latin meaning irregular (anomalus), which implicitly refers to the presence and irregular shape of the prefrontal scales. |
