Species of lizard
Diploglossus delasagra, also known as the Cuban galliwasp, the Cuban pale-necked galliwasp, or la culebrita de cuatro patas (Cuban Spanish: “the little four-legged snake”), is a species of lizard in the family Diploglossidae[2] endemic to Cuba.
The specific name, delasagra, is in honor of Spanish botanist Ramón de la Sagra.[3]
The preferred natural habitat of D. delasagra is forest, but it is also found in orchards and plantations.[1]
Small for the genus Diploglossus, adults of D. delasagra have a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of about 12Â cm (4.7Â in). A short-legged species, it is brown dorsally, dark brown to black laterally, and yellowish cream ventrally.[2]
