| Abstract | The genetic relationship was investigated of three butterfly lizard species (Leiolepis reevesii rubritaeniata, L. belliana belliana and L. boehmei) selectively inhabiting Thailand. The findings were based on RAG1 and C-mos gene analyses. The DNA sequences were also compared with the other squamate reptiles. The analysis strongly supported that L. reevesii rubritaeniata was related more closely to L. belliana belliana than to L. boehmei. The phylogenetic position of Leiolepis spp., however, was contentious with regard to its relationship among the Leiolepidinae, Agaminae and Chamaeleonidae, which suggested that their phylogeny remains uncertain. |
