254- 3. IGUANID& 



Remarks. This species is a member of the U. stans- 

 buriana group but is easily distinguished by the absence of 

 the postaxillary blue blotch and the small size of its dorsal 

 scales. The postaxillary blotch is entirely wanting, while

Distribution. Carmen, Danzante and Coronado islands, 

 Gulf of California, Mexico.
