DistributionBrazil (E Amazonas, Maranhao, Para, Amapa, Roraima, Rondonia, Mato Grosso, Pernambuco, Ceará, Bahia, Sergipe, Acre, Piauí, Paraíba, Espírito Santo), Bolivia (Beni, Cochabamba, La Paz, Santa Cruz, Tarija),
Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Venezuela

intermedius: Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana; Type locality: Surinam.

Type locality: Rio Itapicurú, Maranhão, Brazil.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: lost, was ZSM 190/0 (fide Franzen & Glaw 2007) 
DiagnosisDiagnosis (genus): Kentropyx is the only genus of teiids with scales between the digital lamellae continuing as a row of enlarged scales between the fourth and fifth toe and relatively long, apical papillae on the lobes of the hemipenis. Unlike all other Teiidae, Kentropyx apparently lacks visible subterminal lenticular scale organs on its dorsals and caudals. No other Teiinae has keeled ventrals (also in Dracaena) or relatively small, keeled antebrachials (small antebrachials that are either keeled or smooth occur in Callopistes and the various genera of Tupinambinae). Unlike other Teiinae, Kentropyx lacks a subocular keel or has a weak keel restricted to the first and second subocular, but not extending to the long subocular below the eye. 
CommentType species: Kentropyx calcaratus SPIX 1825 is the type species of the genus Kentropyx SPIX 1825.

Synonymy that of PETERS & DONOSO-BARROS 1970, modified after GALLAGHER & DIXON 1980. Both Boulenger (1885) and Goeldi (1902) used “Kentropyx intermedius” in the sense of K. borckiana, which does not occur in Brazil.

Key: GALLAGHER & DIXON 1992 present a key to the species of Kentropyx. 
EtymologyEtymology (genus): Kentropyx is a feminine noun in the nominative singular derived from the Greek words kentron meaning spur and pyxos meaning box. The name is likely an allusion to the preanal spurs in species of this genus.
