Latest update: December 31st, 2022. Taxonomy of the family Scincidae Bibliography of the genus Aspronema Biodiversity of the family Scincidae Genus Aspronema South American White-striped Skinks Südamerikanische Weissstreifenskinke Sydamerikanske Hvidstribeskinker 2012 Aspronema Hedges & Conn (type species: Mabuia dorsivittata Cope 1862) Contents: 2 species, none of which are endemic. Endemism: 0% 100% Remarks: This genus was described on the basis of species previously assigned to Mabuya. Distribution: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil (Bahia, Distrito Federal, Espirito Santo, Goias, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Parana, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Sao Paulo, Tocantins), Paraguay, Uruguay. Aspronema cochabambae Bolivian White-striped Skink Bolivianischer Weissstreifenskink Boliviansk Hvidstribeskink 1935 Mabuya frenata cochabambae Dunn Mabuya cochabambae Fugler 1989 Aspronema cochabambae Hedges & Conn 2012 Remarks: Already Fugler (1989) treated Notomabuya frenata and A. cochabambae as separate species, but without discussion. This arrangement was followed by subsequent authors (e.g., Riva, Castroviejo & Cabot 1992; Dirksen & Riva 1999). Mausfeld & Lötters (2001) provided evidence supporting the recognition of the two forms as separate species. Hedges & Conn (2012) placed the two species in different genera, Notomabuya and Aspronema, respectively. Distribution: Argentina, Bolivia. Aspronema dorsivittatum South American White-striped Skink, (Paraguay Mabuya) Paraguayischer Weissstreifenskink Paraguayisk Hvidstribeskink 1862 Mabuia dorsivittata Cope Mabuya agilis dorsivittata Amaral 1935 Mabuya dorsovittata [sic] Gallardo 1968 Aspronema dorsivittatum Hedges & Conn 2012 1874 Euprepes virgatus Peters (Cei 1993) 1884 Mabuya jobertii Thominot (Cei 1993) 1885 Mabuya tetrataenia Boettger (Cei 1993) Remarks: Previous records from Bolivia (e.g., Cei 1983; Dirksen & de la Riva 1999) may have been based on misidentified Manciola guaporicola. However, Harvey, Aguayo & Miralles (2008) expected dorsivittatum to occur in the country, and Hedges & Conn (2012) listed it for the country. Distribution: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil (Bahia, Distrito Federal, Espirito Santo, Goias, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Parana, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Sao Paulo, Tocantins), Paraguay, Uruguay.
