Loxopholis rugiceps Cope, 1869

Loxopholis rugiceps Cope 1869: 305 .

Material examined. Table 2.

Loxopholis southi ( Ruthven & Gaige, 1924) : Figure 9B Leposoma southi Ruthven and Gaige 1924: 1 .

Loxopholis southi — Goicoechea et al. 2016: 32.

Material examined. Table 2.

This species is easily differentiated from other gym- nophthalmid lizards in the region by its strongly keeled head and dorsal scales and by having the ventral scales large, keeled, mucronate, and quadrangular to rectangu- lar. It differs from Loxopholis rugiceps , the only other Loxopholis in trans-Andean Colombia, by having the frontonasal divided, instead of single ( Köhler 2008).
