DistributionBrazil (Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Espírito Santo)

Type locality: Estado Rio de Janeiro, Brazil  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: lost, was ZSM 108/0 (fide Franzen & Glaw 2007) 
DiagnosisDixon 1973 compares the genera Anotosaura, Heterodactylus, and Bachia, without providing diagnoses for them. See his table 2 (p. 9). 
CommentType species: Heterodactylus imbricatus SPIX 1825 is the type species of the genus Heterodactylus SPIX 1825.

Tribus: Goicoechea et al. 2016 erected a new tribe, Heterodactylini, for the genera Caparaonia, Colobodactylus, and Heterodactylus.

Synonymy: Because the type species of Chirocolus (H. imbricatus) is also the type species of Heterodactylus, Chirocolus is a junior objective synonym of Heterodactylus. Even though the genus name Heterodactylus is older than Chirocolus, Chirocolini has priority over Heterodactylini (ICZN Article 40.1); therefore, the valid family-group name for the clade including Heterodactylus is Chirocolini Gray 1838. Colli et al. 2015 defined the tribe Chirocolini to include Caparaonia, Colobodactylus, Heterodactylus.
