Remarks:

Frost (1992) synonymized Ophryessoides and Proctotretus with Stenocercus.
He already suggested this in an earlier publication (Frost 1988), and the arrangement was followed by Cadle (1991) and Avila-Pires (1995), although questioned by the latter author.

Stenocercus tricristatus
|
1851 | |
Ophryessoides tricristatus Dumeril |
|
| |
Stenocercus tricristatus Frost 1992 |
Remarks:
Previously included dumerilii.
After dumerilii was resurrected from the synonymy of tricristatus (Avila-Pires 1995), the latter species is known only from a single specimen
from Brazil (without precise locality data).
The specimen most likely originates from Minas Gerais (Avila-Pires 1995; Torres-Carvajal 2007; Costa & Bérnils 2018; Ávila-Pires, Nogueira & Martins 2019).
However, for unknown reasons, Schlüter, Icochea & Perez (2004) listed the species from Amazonian Peru.
Records from Para, Brazil, (e.g., Cunha 1961, 1981) refer to dumerilii (Avila-Pires 1995).
