Diploglossus is a genus of New World diploglossid lizards, with ten described species, commonly known as galliwasps. [2]
Several former Diploglossus species were moved to the genus Siderolamprus in 2021. [3]
Species of the genus Diploglossus are found in South America and parts of the West Indies. [2] One species, D. bilobatus, is found in Central America, but is sometimes placed in the distinct genus Mesoamericus in the subfamily Siderolamprinae. [3]
The following ten species are recognized as being valid. [4]
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Diploglossus.
