Current SSAR Comments:
See de Queiroz et al. (2017, SSAR Herpetological Circular 43: 41) regarding incomplete separation of this species from
A. tigris
. The subspecies
A. m. marmoratus
and
A. m. reticuloriens
are differentiated genetically but weakly so (Hall, 2016, Ph.D. dissertation, University of Texas at Arlington). For the change in the ending of the species name, see note under
Aspidoscelis
.
Range maps are based on curated specimens and provided gratis by CNAH.
