Genus of lizards
Siderolamprus is a genus of lizards in the family Diploglossidae. Member species are found throughout much of Central America. They are considered the only members of the subfamily Siderolamprinae, although "Diploglossus bilobatus" is sometimes reclassified into the monotypic genus "Mesoamericus" and placed with them.
All species in this genus were previously classified in either "Celestus" or "Diploglossus" until a 2021 study found members of both groups to form a distinct grouping from any other diploglossid lizards. The genus "Siderolamprus" was revived for these species.
