Abstract
Carlia lizards belong to the family Scincidae are generally found in Australia and in New Guinea and also in associated Islands. The present study is based on the phylogenetic analysis of 32 species of Carlia on the basis of their 16S rRNA sequences. All of these species differ in their color, habitat shape and size. These species are widely distributed and are kept in gardens and are non poisonous. These lizards are of major importance as they are assisted in the establishment of the invasive brown tree snake on Guam by providing a food resource. By this phylogenetic analysis we can establish a relation between different species of Carlia, using Bootstrap method. In all four types of tree prepared maximum similarity (100%) was found between C.gracillis, Crhomboidalis, C.jarnoldae, and C.rubrigularis.
