CNEMIDOPHORUS. 27 
“The short head of this species is accompanied by an abbreviation of the sutures of 
mutual contact of the fronto-nasal and internasal pairs of scuta, which is not seen in 
the other allied species.”

Abdominal scutes in six series anteriorly and in eight posteriorly; scales in the 
middle of the throat somewhat enlarged, and gradually passing into the smaller lateral 
scales. Collar covered by three or four series of enlarged scales. Nostril in one scute ; 
supraorbitals three, rarely fourf. Humeral scutes in four longitudinal series, separated 
by a narrow granular fold from the pectoral scutes; three large preanals. The scales 
of the tail are strongly keeled, the keels being very slightly oblique. Body with eight 
or nine parallel bluish-white lines, nearly as broad as the interspaces between them. 
4, Cnemidophorus lineatissimus.

Hab. Mexico, Colima, Guadalaxara (Cope). 
“Several rows of large scales on the collar, the border row not larger nor much 
smaller; two preoculars; no freno-ocular; three supraorbitals ; larger gulars extending 
across throat; superior preocular not descending to labials; postbrachials large, con- 
tinuous with brachials; femorals with eight rows; black, with ten or eleven pale 
bands; sides and femora pale spotted; throat black. The muzzle is rather acute, but 
not elongate, and the fronto-nasals have considerable mutual contact. The larger and 
smaller gulars are abruptly distinguished from each other, and the former are smaller 
than the scales of the collar. The frenal plates form a circle surrounding a large 
median scute, of which the two posterior plates are the largest. There is a space 
between the two submedian lines, which is often divided by a median line. Below the 
lowest line the sides are black, with large light spots, open below.” 
* Said to have four supraorbitals (Cope, Journ. Am. Phil. Soc. 1877, p. 95). 
+ A specimen in the Brussels Museum from Mexico shows distinctly a small fourth supraorbital.
