Canyon Spotted Whiptail
Aspidoscelis burti (Taylor, 1938)

Current SSAR Comments:
Both subspecies below were treated as species in the 8th edition of this list; however, Barley et al. (2021, American Naturalist, 198: 295–309) suggested that they are conspecific with A. burti (although A. b. xanthonotus was not sampled) based on phylogenetic and population structure analyses.

Range maps are based on curated specimens and provided gratis by CNAH.
