Reptilia    Squamata (part)    Anguidae  

Panamint Alligator Lizard
Elgaria panamintina (Stebbins, 1958)

Current SSAR Comments:
The results of Feldman and Spicer (2006, Molecular Ecology 15: 2201–2222), based on mtDNA, indicating that E. panamintina is derived from within E. multicarinata, was corroborated by Leavitt et al. (2017, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 110: 104–121) using both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences.

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