LIZARD CNEMIDOPHORUS PERPLEXUS — MASLIN, ET AL. 345 



locality is probably the valley of the Rio Grande m Sandoval County, 

 N. Mex., in the vicmity southwest of Santa Fe. As this locality is 

 geographically and ecologically apart from the area formerly recorded 

 as being occupied by this species, extensive comparisons of C. perplexus 

 with all the species living in the region of Santa Fe had not been made. 

 Of the various species that are now known to occur here it is evident 

 that one of them, C. neomexicanus Lowe and Zweifel, is conspecific 

 with C. perplexus. This name, therefore, must be considered as a 

 synonym of Cnemidophorus perplexus.
