DiagnosisDiagnosis (genus Siderolamprus). Species of Siderolamprus have (1) claw sheath, absent, (2) contact between the nasal and rostral scales, present or absent, (3) scales in contact with the nasal scale, six, (4) postnasal scales, two, (5) position of the nostril in the nasal scale, posterior, (6) keels on dorsal body scales, present or absent, (7) digits per limb, five, (8) longest toe lamellae, 14–35, (9) dorsal scale rows, 65–85, (10) relative head width, 9.88–15.6, (11) relative rostral height, 44.7–63.9, (12) relative frontonasal length, 2.46–2.88, (13) relative interparietal distance, 0.561–1.14, (14) relative axilla-groin distance, 53.5–65.3. From Mesoamericus gen. nov., we distinguish Siderolamprus by the claw sheath (absent versus present in Mesoamericus) and relative rostral height (44.7–63.9 versus 65.0–67.0) (Schools & Hedges 2021).

CommentType species: Siderolamprus enneagrammus COPE 1861: 368 is the type species of the genus Siderolamprus COPE 1861. Content: 14 species: Siderolamprus adercus, S. atitlanensis, S. bivittatus, S. cyanochloris, S. enneagrammus, S. hylaius, S. ingridae, S. laf, S. legnotus, S. montanus, S. orobius, S. owenii, S. rozellae, S. scansorius (fide Schools & Hedges 2021).

Habitat: Species of Siderolamprus are ground- or tree-adapted ecomorphs (Schools et al. 2022). 
EtymologyFrom the Greek “ennéa” meaning nine, “-gramma” meaning something written, and the Latin ending “-us” (masculine). Likely in reference to the nine longitudinal black lines along its body.

The genus was probably named after Greek sideros (σίδηρος), iron + Greek lampros (λαμπρός), bright, brilliant, radiant, after the reddish metallic color of some species in the genus.
