Other tegu species

I've been having a nasty time finding any good pics and info on
T.longilineus, and T.quadrilineatus (aka T.cerradensis). Any help here would be much appreciated. Ron?

What I know so far is:

T.quadralineatus (1997)= striped tegu. A central brazilian species. T.cerradensis (1998)is now included.

T.duseni (1910)= yellow tegu. Found in the province of Parana, Brazil. Officially reclassified with T.rufescens by CITES.

T.longilineus (1995)= Rondonia tegu. Found only in the small and remote regions of Rondonia and Amazonas, Brazil. relatively small animal (8" SVL), know by only 4 specimens.
