First report of hemiclitores in female lizards of the genus Ophiodes Wagler, 1828 (Squamata: Anguidae)
In some species of Squamata, the hemiclitoris is a structure homologous to the hemipenis, and may be used as a taxonomic character. These structures showed similar morphology in males and females in different species of the group; however, some studies have identified morphological variation among t...

In some species of Squamata, the hemiclitoris is a structure homologous to the hemipenis, and may be used as a taxonomic character. These structures showed similar morphology in males and females in different species of the group; however, some studies have identified morphological variation among them.
