Extant squamates in the pleistocene of northwestern Argentina

Abstract

Squamata é um componente comum das comunidades de vertebrados presentes do Noroeste da Argentina, embora o seu registro fóssil nesta região seja escasso. Na presente contribuição são descritos restos de gêneros viventes de Squamata provenientes do Pleistoceno de Província do Santiago del Estero (Argentina). São reconhecidos hemimandíbula incompleta do lagarto Teiidae Tupinambis e uma pequena seção de uma coluna vertebral da serpente Boidae Epicrates. A presença de Tupinambis e Epicrates no Pleistoceno da Termas de Río Hondo coincide com a distribuição atual de destes gêneros. Estes registros aumentam com o conhecimento da herpetofauna Quaternária da região do Noroeste da Argentina.

Squamates are a common component of the present vertebrate communities of Northwestern Argentina, although their fossil record in this region is scarce. In the present contribution, remains of extant genera of squamates from the Pleistocene of Santiago del Estero Province (Argentina) are described. An incomplete hemimandible of the teiid lizard Tupinambis and a short section of a vertebral column of the boid snake Epicrates are recognized. The presence of Tupinambis and Epicrates in the Pleistocene of the Termas de Río Hondo coincides with the current distribution of these genera. These records increase the knowledge on the Quaternary herpetofauna of Northwestern Argentina.
