The Jamaican ameiva (Pholidoscelis dorsalis) is a species of lizard found only in Jamaica.[2]

Taxonomy

The Jamaican ameiva was described in 1838 as Ameiva dorsalis.[2] In 2016, the species was moved to Pholidoscelis based on genetic sequencing and phylogenetic analyses.[3]

Biology

The Jamaican ameiva is a diurnal lizard with an omnivorous diet, including members of its species.[1] It is found in mesic to dry habitats near the sea, in gardens and vegetated duneland, associated with Coccoloba and Ipomea plant species.[1]

Conservation

The Jamaican ameiva historically occurred throughout the lowlands of Jamaica and its cays in scattered subpopulations, though 7 of the 10 mainland subpopulations are considered possibly extinct.[1] It persists on at least 4 cays offshore of the mainland.[1] It is considered an endangered species on the IUCN Red List.[1]
