The genus Bachia Gray, 1845 is widely distributed in South America and exhibits its greatest diversity in the semi-arid foothills and in the low tropical elevations that surround the Amazon basin (Dixon, 1973; Barros and Rincón, 1999). Of the 26 known species, nine are found in Colombia (Uetz et al., 2018). Bachia bicolor (Cope, 1896) is a small fossorial lizard that lives in lowland tropical forests, Andean agroecosystems, and intervening urban areas (Dixon, 1973; RamosPallares et al., 2017). Bachia bicolor has been reported in Colombia for 13 of its 32 departments, generally following the Andean spine as it bisects the country (Ramos-Pallares et al., 2017).
