Common Stream-Lizard (Potamites ecpleopus)

Reptiles of Ecuador | Sauria | Gymnophthalmidae | Potamites ecpleopus

English common name: Common Stream-Lizard.

Spanish common name: Lagartija ribereña común.

Recognition: ♂♂ 17.6 cmMaximum distance from the snout to the tip of the tail. Snout–vent length=8.4 cm. ♀♀ 16.8 cmMaximum distance from the snout to the tip of the tail. Snout–vent length=7.1 cm..1,2 Stream-Lizards of the genus Potamites are easily distinguishable from other leaf-litter lizards in their area of distribution by having heterogeneous dorsal scales and two longitudinal crests on the tail.3 The Common Stream-Lizard (P. ecpleopus) can be confused with its congener P. strangulatus and with species of the genus Gelanesaurus, from which it differs by having well-developed caudal ridges and enlarged tubercles around the neck, flanks, tail, and upper surface of the extremities, all of which give the lizard a crocodile-like appearance.15 There is much geographic variation in P. ecpleopus.4,6 In Ecuadorian populations, adult males have alternating black and white bars on the lips and edges of the chin, a dark throat coloration, and black ocelli with a cream center along the flanks. In females, the labial bars are dark brown instead of black, the throat is light gray, and there is a single ocellus on the insertion of the arm.1,7 In adults, the dorsal coloration is tan to dull brown, whereas in juveniles the back is pinkish tan.1

Natural history: In Ecuador, Potamites ecpleopus is considered a common lizard that occurs in high densities.7,8 It inhabits old-growth rainforests both in flooded and terra-firme areas,610 but also in disturbed areas such as pastures11 and habitats affected by mining or logging.2,8 These lizards are diurnal, semi-aquatic, and strongly associated with bodies of water.4,9,12 They are good swimmers; in water, they propel themselves by means of sinuous movements of the body with help of the tail.4,13 They also forage among leaf-litter, rocks, and logs along or around swampy areas, creeks, streams, and waterfalls,7,14,15 usually partially submerged.1,12 On occasion, these reptiles perch on vegetation up to almost 1 m above the ground or sit exposed on logs and rocks, basking in areas with filtered light.16 However, they prefer humid and shady areas within the forest and do not require direct sunlight to thermoregulate, being active during cloudy and rainy days, even in cold water.1,9,17 At night, they roost on vegetation or among sticks and leaf-litter near streams.8,13 They move slower than other co-occurring lizards and their body temperature is lower,6,7 between 24–30°C, and directly influenced by the air or ground temperature.14

Individuals of Potamites ecpleopus return to the same point on consecutive days to feed.12 Their diet is considered generalist and includes a wide variety of invertebrates ranging from earthworms to snails, but the most important prey items are crickets, ants, and insect larvae.6,7 In smaller quantities, it also includes tadpoles17 and lizards such as Anolis trachyderma, Loxopholis parietalis, and even other P. ecpleopus.1 There are records of snakes (Drymoluber dichrous,1 Helicops angulatus,9 Oxyrhopus leucomelas,8 and Bothrocophias hyoprora18) preying upon individuals of P. ecpleopus. When threatened, these lizards run towards roots and leaf-litter, into holes in the banks,9 or directly to the water4,7 submerging to the bottom debris.1,6,14 If captured, they usually wriggle and bite fiercely, but can also shed the tail.1,8 Potamites ecpleopus is an oviparous species with a continuous reproductive cycle.9,19 The clutch size is two eggs measuring around 0.5 x 1.4 cm.2 Communal nests of up to 5 eggs have been reported under large, rotten logs near bodies of water.4 Hatchlings measure 2.1–2.4 cm in SVL.9

Conservation: Least Concern Believed to be safe from extinction given current circumstances..20 Potamites ecpleopus is listed in this category because it has a large distribution, occurs in protected areas, and has high population densities. Thus, the species is considered to be facing no major immediate extinction threats.20 Although deforestation is affecting some populations, this is not considered a widespread threat to the species as a whole.20 However, P. ecpleopus has been shown to be a species complex21 and some populations are under greater threat from habitat loss.

Distribution: Potamites ecpleopus is widely distributed throughout the Amazon basin of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador (Fig. 2), and Perú.2 It also occurs along the adjacent Andean foothills.

Distribution of Potamites ecpleopus in Ecuador

Figure 2: Distribution of Potamites ecpleopus in Ecuador. See Appendix 1 for a complete list of the presence localities included in the map.

Etymology: The generic name Potamites, which is a Greek noun meaning “water finder,” refers to the semi-aquatic habits of lizards in this genus.3 The specific epithet ecpleopus refers to the similarity between the head of this species and those of the tribe Ecpleopini.22

See it in the wild: Common Stream-Lizards can be observed with almost complete certainty in forested streams throughout the species’ area of distribution in Ecuador. These reptiles are particularly common in Yasuní National Park, Sumaco National Park, and Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve. Individuals can be found by removing leaf-litter or logs along streams or flooded areas within the forest
