Diagnosis 
CommentType species: Caparaonia itaiquara RODRIGUES et al. 2009 is the type species of the genus Caparaonia RODRIGUES, CASSIMIRO, PAVAN, CURCIO, KRUTH VERDADE & MACHADO PELLEGRINO 2009.

Taxonomy: The name Heterodactylini was proposed by Pellegrino et al. (2001) to include Colobodactylus Amaral 1933, Colobosaura Boulenger 1887, Heterodactylus Spix 1825, Iphisa Gray 1851, and provisionally Stenolepis Boulenger 1888. Rodrigues et al. (2009b) restricted Heterodactylini to Caparaonia, Colobodactylus and Heterodactylus. However, Heterodactylini is not the valid name for this group. 
EtymologyNamed for the Caparaó mountains, the type locality, and meaning ‘‘from Caparaó.’’ The specific epithet is from the Tupi language, meaning ‘‘the one that inhabits rocks’’ in reference to the habitat where this lizard is most frequently found.
