Descrição: Detailed accounts on variation, distribution, and relationships of three Hispaniolan species of Leiocephalus (L. schreibersi, L. semilineatus, L. pratensis) are given. L. schreibersi is compared with the two related Bahaman species L. inaguae and L. arenarius. The generic status of L. pratensis (formerly "Hispaniolus" pratensis) is discussed. Extended accounts of sympatry between Hispaniolan Leiocephalus are compared with sympatry in the Cuban members of the genus, and it is suggested that the diversity of Leiocephalus (eight species) in Hispaniola in contrast to five species in Cuba may be due to the fact that some of the Hispaniolan species have penetrated into higher elevations whereas only one of the Cuban species has done so; the Cuban species are overwhelmingly lowland or lower montane slope inhabitants. Additional diversity on Hispaniola is probably due to the complex geological history and present physiography of that island.
