Type locality: Paraguay.  
Reproductionovovivparous 
TypesHolotype: USNM 5405 (number cited by COPE)
Holotype: ZISP 6652, “Paraguay” [Mabuia tetrataenia] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis (genus). Species in this genus are characterized by (1) frontoparietals, 1–2, (2) supraciliaries, 3–4, (3) supraoculars, three (rarely four), (4) prefrontal contact, absent (or contact sometimes in Aspronema dorsivittatum) (5) parietal contact, present, (6) rows of nuchals, 0–2, (7) dorsals + ventrals, 111–132, (8) total digital lamellae, 185–193, (9) a dark middorsal stripe, present, (10) dark dorsolateral stripes, present, (11) dark lateral stripe, present, and (12) dark ventral striping, absent. Maximum body sizes in this genus are 76–84 mm SVL (Vrcibradic & Rocha 2011) (Table 2). The combination of three supraoculars and a narrow, dark middorsal stripe distinguishes this genus from all others. Also, while pale dorsolateral and ventrolateral stripes are not rare in Mabuyinae, those stripes in species of the Genus Aspronema are especially distinctive [HEDGES & CONN 2012]. 
CommentRelationships: Mabuya, Marisora, and Aspronema are paraphyletic in the phylogenetic analysis of Pereira & Schrago 2017.

Synonymy following that of Brygoo 1985 and CEI 1993.

Type species: Mabuia dorsovittata COPE 1862 is the type species of the genus Aspronema HEDGES & CONN 2012. The gender is neuter. 
EtymologyNamed after the dorsal stripes, from Latin “vitta” = stripe, band.

The genus name (Aspronema) is a neuter noun derived from the Greek adjective aspro (white) and noun nema (thread), referring to the distinctive narrow and white dorsolateral and ventrolateral stripes present in species of this genus [HEDGES & CONN 2012].
