Abstract

AbstractAn analysis of scalation, color pattern, and distribution of Eumeces skiltonianus and E. lagunensis in Baja California indicates that these taxa are discretely diagnosable from one another and allopatric. In the context of an evolutionary species concept, they are considered to be separate species. New records extend the range of E. lagunensis 220 km to the north in central Baja California. An erroneous report on the southern extent of E. skiltonianus in northern Baja California is corrected, restricting its southern distribution 145 km further north than previously reported.
