[Interpretation of the organization of the aortic arch in the Dibamus (Reptilia, Squamates) using findings obtained from various groups of Squamates serpentiformes].
The comparative study of the aortic trunks of Dibamus (subterranean limbless Squamate) and of the other Squamata shows the presence of an original vascular organization in the serpentiform animals submitted to the subterranean life constraints as Scolecophidia, Amphisbaenia, Dibamidae, Anniellidae, Feyliniidae, and some Scincidae (genus Acontias and Typhlosaurus). Nevertheless, the morphology of the systemic and carotidian trunks supplies only few informations on the phylogenetical status of Dibamus.
