BIOLOGICAL CURIOSITIES ON THE NATURAL HISTORY OF LIZARDS FROM VENEZUELA: SAUROPHAGY OF GONATODES Gonatodes albogularis (DUMÉRIL & BIBRON, 1836) BY Tropidurus hispidus (SPIX, 1825), AND Attack OF Gymnophthalmus speciosus (HALLOWELL, 1861) BY A LARVA OF Myrmeleon sp. (NEUROPTERA)
Documented information on lizard diets have contributed to a better understanding of species ecology, strategies, and predator-prey interactions. For Venezuela, the information continues to be very discreet. Two cases of interactions are anectodally reported here: firstly, the predation of Gonatodes...

| Sumario: | Documented information on lizard diets have contributed to a better understanding of species ecology, strategies, and predator-prey interactions. For Venezuela, the information continues to be very discreet. Two cases of interactions are anectodally reported here: firstly, the predation of Gonatodes albogularis by Tropidurus hispidus, and secondly, the occurrence of a leaf litter lizard Gymnophthalmus speciosus subjugated by a Neuroptera of the genus Myrmeleon in its larval stage. |
