DiagnosisDiagnosis: Tupinambis quadrilineatus differs (see Table 2 for scale counts and measurements) from the other species of the genus in the presence of 11–18 femoral pores (15–18 in Tupinambis teguixin, 20–22 in Tupinambis longilineus, 18–26 in Tupinambis palustris), 94–118 scales around the mid-body (94–124 in Tupinambis teguixin, 90–98 in Tupinambis longilineus, 112–119 in Tupinambis palustris), 113–138 dorsal scales (102–126 in Tupinambis teguixin, 110–121 in Tupinambis longilineus, 111–122 in Tupinambis palustris) and the coloration. In Tupinambis quadrilineatus, the upper lateral stripe is well-defined along the flanks, whereas in other species, it is indistinct or absent (Avila-Pires 1995, Colli et al. 1998, Manzani and Abe 2002, Harvey et al. 2012, cited after Silva et al. 2013). 
CommentDistribution: Probably also in Bolivia (fide LANGSTROTH 2005); see map in Silva et al. 2018. 
EtymologyNamed after Latin quadri = four, and linea = line (even though lines are not always visible in some specimens).
