Abstract

Abstract The diploid, parthenogenetic, whiptail lizard Aspidoscelis tesselata is represented by two distinctive variants of color pattern in southeastern Colorado. Pattern-class C has been recorded from several sites in the canyonlands of Otero, Las Animas, and Baca counties and D has been recorded from four sites north of the Purgatoire River near Higbee, Otero County. We report a specimen of A. tesselata D collected in 2008 south of the Purgatoire River in Las Animas County, which represents a significant range extension for this distinctive parthenogen.
