| Comment | For illustrations see Boulenger, 1885 (as Diploglossus striatus); Cochran, 1941 (as C.costatus); Grant, 1951 (as C. costatus); Schwartz, 1964 d. Type species: Celestus striatus is the type species of the genus Celestus GRAY 1838: 288 (fide PETERS & DONOSO-BARROS 1970). Content (Cestesus s. str., fide Schools & Hedges 2021): 11 species: Celestus barbouri, C. crusculus, C. duquesneyi, C. fowleri, C. hewardii, C. macrolepis, C. macrotus, C. microblepharis, C. molesworthi, C. occiduus, and C. striatus. Type species: Diploglossus stenurus COPE 1862 (1863): 188 is the type species of the genus Comptus SCHOOLS & HEDGES 2021. Content. Three species: Comptus badius, C. maculatus, and C. stenurus. Higher taxa: Celestus is here assigned to Diploglossidae based on the paraphyly within Anguimorpha in Zheng & Wiens 2016. Most other recent authors included the genus in Anguidae: Diploglossinae. Conservation: While SCHOOLS & HEDGES 2021 considered Celestus striatus to be a valid species, it’s possible that the species has already gone extinct. Habitat: Comptus and Panolopus have both ground and tree-adapted ecomorphs (Schools et al. 2022). |
