Dopasia is a genus of lizards in the family Anguidae. The genus contains seven species, which are native to Asia. They are most closely related to the North American Ophisaurus, and are sometimes considered part of that genus.

Species

The following species are recognized as being valid.[1]

Dopasia buettikoferi (Lidth De Jeude, 1905) – Buettikofer's glass lizard
Dopasia gracilis (Gray, 1845) – Burmese glass lizard, Asian glass lizard, Indian glass snake
Dopasia hainanensis (Yang, 1984) – Hainan glass lizard
Dopasia harti (Boulenger, 1899) – Hart's glass lizard
Dopasia ludovici (Mocquard, 1905) – Ludovic's glass lizard
Dopasia sokolovi (Darevsky & Nguyen, 1983) – Sokolov's glass lizard
Dopasia wegneri (Mertens, 1959) – Wegner's glass lizard

Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Dopasia.
Fossil record

Fossils of the genus Dopasia are known from the Oligocene of Belgium and France, the Miocene of Morocco, and the Pliocene of the Balearic Islands.[2][3]
