Dimorfismo sexual em Cnemidophorus lacertoides (Squamata: Teiidae) do sul da América do Sul.
Twenty-five adult males and 22 adult females from different populations along the distribution range of Cnemidophorus lacertoides were compared using color and six morphometrics variables. Sexual differences in snout-vent lenght were tested by analysis of variance. Sexual differences in tail lenght,...

| description | Twenty-five adult males and 22 adult females from different populations along the distribution range of Cnemidophorus lacertoides were compared using color and six morphometrics variables. Sexual differences in snout-vent lenght were tested by analysis of variance. Sexual differences in tail lenght, tail width, head lenght, head width, and head weight were tested by analysis of covariance using snout-vent lenght as the covariate. All measurements but snout-vent were significantly different between sexes, males being larger than females. Adult males also have a green coloration on the lateral sides of the body not seen in females. |
