FIG. 2. Cnemidophorus nativo Rocha et al., 1997, a Brazilian lizard discovered in 1818 by Prince Maximilian zu Wied. The earlier names Lacerta cyanomelas Schinz, 1822, and Teius cyanomelas Wied, 1824 (1822–1831) are qualified herein as forgotten names (nomina oblita), whereas Cnemidophorus nativo is qualified as a protected name (nomen protectum). Top: The original Abbildungen illustration of Teius cyanomelas Wied, reproduced ×1.38 from a composite plate (Wied, 1824 [1822–1831], Lief. 5). The plate was prepared from an artist's copy of Wied's pen-and-watercolor field sketch, in which the background was a horizontal line. The accompanying letterpress text includes "Rücken schwarz, mit einem breiten bläulichen Längsstreif in der Mitte, und zwei weissbläulichen schmäleren an der Seite [Back black, with a wide bluish median stripe, and two narrower bluish white lateral stripes]." Bottom: A specimen of Cnemidophorus nativo from Restinga do Barra Seca, Linhares, state of Espirito Santo, Brazil. The extent of color variation is unknown, but Rocha et al. (1997: 378) wrote that the median "light salmon stripe... continues mostly as light grey and/or light blue [emphasis added] along the dorsal region of tail" and "vivid white" lateral stripes.
