Sauria, Morphology, Bones, Cranium, TeiidaeAbstract
The present study compares the morphology of the bones of the cranium of three species of Kentropyx, namely; K. viridistriga. K. striata y K. calcarata. Significant differences were found arnong the three species in the following aspects: cranial morphology; premaxilar; frontal; postfrontal-postorbital; parietal and epipterygoid. Related to the bones carrying teeth only maxilar and dentarium showed significant differences related only to the nurnber of teeth, but not regarding its morphology.
