Phylogenetics: The genera Diplolaemus, Leiosaurus, and Pristidactylus have been combined in the Leiosaurae clade (Morando et al. 2015). |
Etymology | Named after Latin fascia = band, for the dorsal cross-bands in this species. The genus was named after Greek pristis (πρίστης), saw or file + Greek dactylos (δάκτυλος), finger, toe. |
