CHECKLIST OF REPTILES OF MEXICO 213 



ANEUPORUS OCCIPITAUS Bocoort 



AneuTporus occipitalis Bocourt, Mission scientifique au Mexique . . ., Etudes sur 

 les reptiles, livr. 4, 1874, pp. 215-217, pi. 18, fig. 1. 



This has since been renamed Tropidurus hocourti by Boulenger, since 

 Bocourt's name is suppressed as a homonym of Tropidurus occipitalis 

 (Peters). The species occurs in Peru. 



SPHAERODACTYLUS ANTHRACINUS Cope 



Sphaerodactylus anthracinus Cope, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 1861, p. 

 500 (type locality, "Mexico" [Jalapa]). 



Barbour (Mem. Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard, vol. 47, 1921, pp. 

 258-259) associates this name with a species from Andros Island, but 

 Boulenger (Catalogue of the lizards in the British Museum, vol. 1, 

 1885, p. 225) records a specimen from "San Domingo," and Peters 

 (Monatsb. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1869, p. 874) records one from the 

 state of Puebla (possibly in the vicinity of Izucar de Matamoros). 

 The final word has not yet been said. For a discussion see Taylor, 

 Univ. Kansas Sci. Bull., vol. 31, 1947, pp. 300-301. 



Three other species recorded from "Mexico," but with a type 

 locality elsewhere, are known to be restricted to extralimital areas: 



BACHIA DORBIGNYI (Dum6rU and Bibron) 



Bachia dorbignyi (Dum^ril and Bibron), Mttller, Reisen in den Vereinigten 

 Staaten, Canada und Mexico, vol. 3, pt. 3, 1865, p. 604. 



This species, still recognized by this name, occurs in Bolivia and 

 Chile. 



ECPHYMOTES OBTUSIROSTRIS (Wiegmann) 



Ecphymotes ohtusirostris (Wiegmann), Mtjller, op. cit., p. 600. 



This name is a synonym of Anisolepis undulatus (Wiegmann), 

 which species occurs in Brasil. 



TROPIDURUS PTYCHOPLEURUS Lichtensteln 



Tropidurus ptychopleurus Lichtensteln, Mxjller, op. cit., p. 602. 



This name is a synonym of Liolaemus tenuis (Dum^ril and Bibron), 

 which species occurs in Chile. 



One other name, supposedly based upon a Mexican specimen, has 

 been impossible to place:
