THE GENUS CNEMIDOPHORUS. 31 



Five lateral and a vertebral stripe ; the lowest lateral a row of yellow spots on a green ground ; 



belly black ; legs scarcely yellow spotted ; femoral pores 21-23 C. d. decemlineatus. 



Five lateral and a vertebral stripe ; the lowest wide, and on the black sides, which have yellow 



spots below the stripe, often defining vertical black bars ; belly yellowish ; legs little spotted ; 



femoral pores 14^16 G. d. Uneatissimus.

Gnemidophorus Uneatissimus Cope, Proceeds. Amer. Philos. Soc, 1877, 94. 

 Sixteen specimens from Colima, Mex., Xantus, and four from Guadalaxara, Major. 



This form is the most distinct in color characters, which are perfectly constant, 

 and it is further characterized by the small number of femoral pores. It would rank 

 as a species if compared with C. d. decemlineatus onlyj varying from the type in the 

 opposite direction from that form.

This species presents several forms which may be regarded as subspecies until 

 their constancy can be proven. They difter as follows : 



I. Brachial and postbrachial plates continuous ; few or no granules on the edge of 



the collar. 

 Four light stripes on each side ; large G. g. immutabilis. 



II. Brachial and postbrachial plates separated by smaller scales ; numerous granules 



on edge of collar. 



Four light stripes on each side ; small ; back not spotted G. g. microlepidopus. 



Two light stripes on each side ; the back light spotted ; large G. g. guttatus. 



Unicolor ; small G. g. unicolor. 



Cnemidopliorus guttatus immutahilis Cope. 



Gnemidophorus immutabilis Cope, Proceeds. Amer. Philos. Soc, 1877, 93. 



This form might be regarded as a species but for the fact that its characters are 

 not entirely trustworthy. Thus one of the specimens has a few granules at the mid-
