Mohawk Dunes Fringe-toed Lizard
Uma thurmanae
DeRycke, Gottscho, Mulcahy, and de Queiroz, 2020
SSAR 9th Edition Comments:
After earlier studies (Trépanier and Murphy, 2001, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 18: 327–334; Gottscho et al., 2017, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 106: 103–117) suggested that populations of Fringe-toed Lizards from the Mohawk Dunes (Yuma Co., AZ) formerly considered part of U. rufopunctata constitute a separate species, DeRycke et al. (2020, Zootaxa 4778: 67–100) presented additional morphological and molecular data and results corroborating that inference and named the species.
