	Cuban night lizard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		The Cuban night lizard (Cricosaura typica) is a night lizard living exclusively in the west corner of the southern-most coast of Cuba.
		It is the only member of the genus Cricosaura.
		Like all night lizards, the Cuban night lizard is viviparous, giving live birth to its young.

	Digimorph - Cricosaura typica (Cuban night lizard)
		First, although they are almost uniformly diminuitive (Cricosaura measures less than 4 cm snout-vent length, and the largest xantusiid species measure about 10 cm snout-vent length), xantusiids generally take several years to reach sexual maturity, and several species give birth to just 1 or 2 offspring.
		It is a more usual reproductive strategy for small lizards to mature quickly and produce large numbers of offspring, to increase their chances of survival.
		Xantusiidae also includes two insular endemics: the Cuban Cricosaura typica, shown here, is the only xantusiid found in the West Indies and is interpreted as one of the Caribbean's few ancient endemic vertebrate lineages; and Xantusia riversiana (formerly Klauberina riversiana) is limited to three of the Channel Islands off the coast of California.

	Digimorph - Xantusia vigilis (desert night lizard)
		These microhabitat restrictions result in extremely disjunct geographical distributions, and also may be responsible for some morphological convergence within the group (e.g., flattened skulls for crevice dwelling).
		Xantusiidae also includes two insular endemics: the Cuban Cricosaura typica is the only xantusiid found in the West Indies and is interpreted as one of the Caribbean's few ancient endemic vertebrate lineages; and Xantusia riversiana (formerly Klauberina riversiana) is limited to three of the Channel Islands off the coast of California.
		Cricosaura or a species of Lepidophyma would be more appropriate, but both are exceedingly rare in collections; indeed, some species of Lepidophyma are known from only 1 or 2 specimens.

	Phylogenetic relationships and biogeography of xantusiid lizards, inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Phylogenetic relationships and biogeography of xantusiid lizards, inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences.Portions of two mitochondrial genes (12S ribosomal RNA and cytochrome b) were sequenced in seven species to examine phylogenetic relationships within the lizard family Xantusiidae.
		These findings are not in agreement either with the results of a recent morphological analysis that united Cricosaura and Lepidophyma as closest relatives or with past studies that have recognized X. riversiana as a separate genus.
		Levels of sequence divergence, as well as the age and affinities of some mainland fossil taxa, suggest that the origin of Cricosaura was associated with the tectonic evolution of the Greater Antilles in the late Cretaceous.
