“…On the other hand, as the present specimens were found in the snake E. typhlus from Pantanal and the other sequences of P. retusa were from parasites of the lizard T. teguixin, probably with a geographic origin distant from the Pantanal, the process of cryptic speciation cannot be discarded. It should be mentioned that T. teguixin, after taxonomic rearrangements [44,45], is a species that does not occur in Pantanal wetlands. Similar data were observed for COI sequences identified as P. mirandai (KT894804; KP981418) and considered different species according to the delimitation methods.…”

(1) Background: Although Physaloptera retusa is one of the most widespread species infecting reptiles in the Americas, numerous taxonomic problems and little genetic data are associated with it. To clarify the taxonomy of this species, we used an integrative approach. (2) Methods: Physaloptera retusa-infecting Erythrolamprus typhlus (snake) from the Pantanal wetlands, Brazil, was morphologically and genetically characterised (18S and 28S rDNA; COI mtDNA) and compared with conspecific sequences available in GenBank, from parasites of Tupinambis teguixin (lizard), using species delimitation methods. Type specimens of P. liophis were re-evaluated given its morphological similarities with P. retusa. (3) Results: The morphology of the present specimens was equal to that of P. retusa, in which the only difference from P. liophis was the relative position of the vulva. Species delimitation methods were more accurate for the COI dataset; all of them (except ABGD) indicated interspecificity among P. retusa sequences. However, a lack of morphological data or voucher material, associated with the deposited sequences, prevented more assertive conclusions. (4) Conclusions: The present results highlight the importance of a clear association between genetic data and morphology of the isolation source, or at least its adequate vouchering. Moreover, P. retusa may represent a species complex in cryptic speciation, since it is widespread and has low hosts specificity.

“…Both lizards were infested by immature stages of ticks, which were collected manually using tweezers and placed inside plastic tubes containing 70% alcohol (ethanol). The lizards were identified using a guide and a recent paper (Vitt & Zani, 1998;Silva et al, 2018) and then released at the same capture site. The specimens were collected under authorization from the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation: SisBio license number 69.943-4.…”

“…Parasitism by A. rotundatum in the Teiidae species A. ameiva in the Neotropical region (Guglielmone & Nava, 2010), including in Brazil, is already known, with reports from the Amazon biome (Dantas-Torres et al, 2022) and from a sandbar terrain (restinga), on the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro (Viana et al, 2012). Silva et al (2018) provided a description of a new species of lizard of the genus Tupinambis in the central region of South America and presented a new distribution map for the species of the genus Tupinambis. They demonstrated that the only species of this genus with distribution in Acre is T. cuzcoensis, and not T. teguixin, how it was described.…”

The aim of the present study was to report on the occurrence of parasitism by Amblyomma rotundatum ticks on two species of Teiidae lizards and test the presence of rickettsiae in the collected ticks, in the western Brazilian Amazon region. Ticks were collected in July 2019, from a fragment of terra firme forest in the municipality of Senador Guiomard, Acre, Brazil. Two lizards that were infested by immature stages of ticks were caught using mist net and Tomahawk traps. Ectoparasites were collected manually, and the lizard specimens were identified and released at the same location where they had been caught. Three nymphs and 49 larvae were collected from Ameiva ameiva, while 25 nymphs and nine larvae were collected from Tupinambis cuzcoensis, which are both in the family Teiidae. The ticks were identified morphologically as belonging to the genus Amblyomma. Nymphs were identified at species level through molecular analysis, resulting in the tick species Amblyomma rotundatum. This is the first record of parasitism by the tick A. rotundatum on T. cuzcoensis lizard, and the first report of an association between A. rotundatum and the lizard species A. ameiva and T. cuzcoensis in Acre, in the western part of the Amazon region.

“…Santana et al -Giant Armadillo Burrows use by Cerrado teiid Lizards are known for being active foragers (Ávila-Pires, 1995;Harvey et al, 2012). Species within both genera inhabit habitats ranging from forested to open areas, with most of them occurring in at least two or more ecoregions throughout South America, making them widespread species (Silva et al, 2018). However, T. quadrilineatus Manzani & Abe, 1997 and S. duseni (Lönnberg in Lönnberg & Andersson, 1910) are endemic species to the Cerrado savanna (Drummond et al, 2014;Oliveira & Costa, 2022), which is the richest savanna in the world and a biodiversity hotspot, a megadiverse area with many endemic species that are severely threatened (Klink & Machado, 2005).…”

The Neotropical genera Tupinambis and Salvator are large heliothermic lizards belonging to the teiid family with a wide distribution throughout South America. However, two species of these genera (T. quadrilineatus and S. duseni) have more limited distributions, being endemic to the Cerrado savanna. Giant armadillos build burrows that are used by a variety of species. In this study, we describe observations of interactions of four teiid species with giant armadillo burrows, report new distribution records of T. quadrilineatus and S. duseni within the Cerrado, and provide insights into the habitat requirements of these species. Our results highlight the importance of preserving threatened species to maintain ecological interactions and emphasize the need to protect the Cerrado savanna.
