Gerrhosaurus skoogi
Scientific classification :
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Chordata
Class:Reptilia
Order:Squamata
Family:Gerrhosauridae
Genus:Gerrhosaurus
Species:G. skoogi
Binomial name :
Gerrhosaurus skoogi
Andersson, 1916
Synonyms[1]:
-
Gerrhosaurus skoogiAndersson, 1916
-
Gerrhosaurus validus skoogi— Loveridge, 1942
-
Angolosaurus skoogi— V. FitzSimons, 1953
-
Gerrhosaurus skoogi— Lamb et al., 2003
Etymology :
The specific name, skoogi, is in honor of Hilmer Nils Erik Skoog (1870–1927), who was Curator of the Götesborgs Naturhistoriska museum from 1904 to 1927.[4]
Taxonomy :
In 1916 Andersson described this lizard as a new species, naming it Gerrhosaurus skoogi. In 1953 FitzSimons assigned the species to a new genus Angolosaurus. Recent studies[2] suggest that this monotypic genus is synonymous to Gerrhosaurus and makes it paraphyletic; therefore A. skoogi was reclassified as Gerrhosaurus skoogi.
