Table 2.
Basic cytogenetic data compiled from the literature for the Teiidae family. (2n), (KF), (FN). Three descriptions of karyotypic formulas: (a) number of biarmed chromosomes, number of uniarmed chromosomes and number of microchromosomes; (b) chromosomes that show a gradual series of acrocentric chromosomes; (c) macrochromosome chromosomes (M) and microchromosomes (mi). For data not included in the literature, “-” is indicated.
