Celestus
''Celestus'' is a genus of diploglossid lizards endemic to Jamaica and containing about 11 species, though three of these may be extinct. Formerly, this genus had more than 31 species, but a 2021 phylogenetic study found this classification to be paraphyletic and split those species into their own genera. Species *'' Celestus barbouri'' – limestone forest galliwasp *'' Celestus crusculus'' – Jamaican galliwasp, Garman's galliwasp *'' Celestus duquesneyi'' – Duquesney's galliwasp, blue-tailed galliwasp *'' Celestus fowleri'' – bromeliad galliwasp, Fowler's galliwasp *'' Celestus hewardi'' – Heward's galliwasp *'' Celestus macrolepis'' (possibly extinct) *'' Celestus microblepharis'' – small-eyed galliwasp, tiny eyelid galliwasp *'' Celestus molesworthi'' *''Celestus occiduus'' – Jamaican giant galliwasp (possibly extinct) *'' Celestus striatus'' (possibly extinct) ''Nota bene'': a binomial authority In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term nam ...

The Jamaican giant galliwasp or sinking galliwasp (''Celestus occiduus'') is a species of lizard in the Diploglossidae. It was endemic to Jamaica. It was last recorded in mid-19th century, with locals reporting unconfirmed sightings. Its population has been ravaged and exterminated by introduced predators like mongoose A mongoose is a small terrestrial carnivorous mammal belonging to the family Herpestidae.

Diploglossidae
Diploglossidae is a family of anguimorph lizards native to the Americas, with most genera being endemic to Hispaniola. Most members of this family (aside from the legless genus '' Ophiodes'') are known as galliwasps. They were formerly considered a subfamily of Anguidae, but genetic evidence has shown them to be less closely related to other members of Anguidae than Anniellidae is. Taxonomy Phylogenetic evidence supports an early Cenozoic origin for the family. Species were previously only classified into 3 genera ('' Celestus'', '' Diploglossus'', and '' Ophiodes''), but a 2021 study found these genera to be paraphyletic, and thus further split them into more genera, classified within 3 different subfamilies (the celestines, diploglossines, and siderolamprines). The siderolamprines and a single celestine radiated throughout most of Central America, the diploglossines radiated throughout South America, and both the celestines and diploglossines radiated throughout the Caribbean ...
