Arguments support this homology: 1) a link with the vertebral column; 2) a movable articulation, showing all the features of a diarthrosis, between the femur and the acetabulum; 3) all the long bone characteristics for the femur which distally bears a horny element. The morphological peculiarities of the amphisbaenian pelvic girdle are generally close to those of lizards, but the pubis seems to be more reduced. For the same number of precloacal vertebrae, the amphisbaenians have more appendicular elements than lizards have, and this composition recalls that of the Leptotyphlopidae, Aniliidae, and Boidae. The account provides more information concerning the aponeuro\u2010tendinous system associated to the skeleton of the girdle and the hindlimb, the musculature, and the interrelations between the different structures of the pelvi\u2010cloacal region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jmor.1052090104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,24]],"date-time":"2005-02-24T15:14:46Z","timestamp":1109258086000},"page":"23-38","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Comments on the pelvic appendicular vestiges in an amphisbaenian: <i>Blanus cinereus<\/i> (Reptilia, squamata)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"209","author":[{"given":"Sabine","family":"Renous","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010Pierre","family":"Gasc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Albert","family":"Raynaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"171","article-title":"The pattern of dermal\u2010vertebral correlation in snakes and amphisbaenians","volume":"41","author":"Alexander A.
