The Late Pliocene amphibians and reptiles from “ Capo Mannu D 1 Local Fauna ” (Mandriola, Sardinia, Italy) Delfino, Massimo Bailon, Salvador Pitruzzella, Gaetano Geodiversitas 2011 2011-06-30 33 2 357 382 Gray 1825 [279,410,1421,1447] Reptilia Gekkonidae Animalia Squamata 9 366 Chordata family   MATERIALEXAMINED. — Maxilla: 1; ilium: 1; trunk vertebra: 3.  DESCRIPTION A fragment of maxilla corresponding to eight tooth positions preserves only one tooth; it is pleurodont, slender, conical, and monocusped; a cavity opens at the base of the tooth. Two rows of foramina are aligned on the outer surface of the maxilla. A right ilium has a short but dorsoventrally expanded shaft; the anterior process is developed as a wide dorsal lamina and not as a prominent tubercle. The largest trunk vertebra has an amphicoelous centrum slightly longer than 1 mm; the cotyles are approximately circular; the neural canal is extremely large when compared to the centrum; the prezygapophyses are nearly completely brokenoff; the postzygapophyseal facets are narrow and elongated; the anterior edge of the neural arch is V-shaped; the posterior edge of the neural arch develops a process that does not significantly surpass the postzygapophyses; the neural crest is weakly developed or absent and therefore the neural arch is nearly smooth, being present only as a modest keel; the synapophyses are elongated and dorso-caudally directed; the ventral surface of the centrum is markedly concave and devoid of keels or ridges. The figured vertebra (DSTC 6012; Fig. 4A, B) has an evident tubercle on both the lateral surfaces of the neural arch.  DISCUSSION The amphicoelous condition of the vertebra, associated to a maxilla bearing a pleurodont monocusped tooth, allows the identification of a member of Gekkonidae(see among others Bailon 1991). The absence of diagnostic characters on the skeletal elements preserved in the Capo Mannu D1 LF assemblage hinders a more precise identification. Family LACERTIDAE Bonaparte, 1831
