Further insights on chromosomal evolution of the genus Enyalius with karyotype description of Enyalius boulengeri Etheridge, 1969 (Squamata, Leiosauridae)
The genus Enyalius is composed of 10 described species inhabiting forest areas in Amozônia, Cerrado and Atlantic forest biomes. Currently, eight species with high levels of chromosome variation have been karyotyped. The study aims to characterize the karyotype of Enyalius boulengeri, with classical...
