Notes
Park Species Detail: per Hammerson 2005: I found these whiptails in the western part of BLCA. McCoy (1966) also reported them to occur only at lower elevations near the western boundary of the park. Fallon (1997) reported them from the Warner Point Trail and along the Warner Route (near saddle), but I did not see them in those locations in 2004. This species was formerly known as Cnemidophorus velox. The generic allocation of native North American whiptail lizards was recently changed to Aspidoscelis (Reeder et al. 2002, Crother et al., 2003). 11/2006 NCPN adopts the generic name Cnemidophorus per the Utah Heritage program., Park Species Data Source: Fallon 1997, Bibkey #168138
