Its former rank under Tropiocolotes has been intensely debated in the herpetological literature ( Anderson 1961 , 1999 ; Minton & Anderson 1965 ; Guibé 1966a ; Minton et al. 1970 ; Kluge 1983 ; Leviton et al. 1992 ; Szczerbak & Golubev 1996 ), but recent phylogenetic studies clearly show the distinctness of these genera ( Bauer et al. 2013 ; Pyron et al. 2013 ).
