Habits——The species was found only on the boulders in the amaz- 
ingly rugged canyon at the city limits of the small town of Tierra 
Colorada. They are not common, and are exceedingly wary; in 
fact, only one aduit male has been obtained. 
Remarks.—The name stejnegerit appeared as a nomen nudum in 
19392. It was a lapsus for some other name, the identity of which 
is not apparent. It is a pleasure to fix the name for a species so 
distinct from others.

3This is a very young specimen, once referred by me to mucronatus omiltemanus (Univ. 
Kans. Sci. Bull., vol. 24, p. 594, 1936), before I was aware that other large species of 
Sceloporus occur in the region.
