DistributionMexico (Hidalgo, Puebla, Veracruz)

Type locality: 10.1 km NE Tlanchinol, 1237 m, Hidalgo, Municipio de Tlanchinol, Mexico.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: UTA 11514, adult male
Paratypes: UTA R-11513, a juvenile, from 43.6 km SW Huejutla, 1372 m, Municipio de Tlanchinol, Hidalgo, Mexico, on 16 July 1983; UTA R-18658-59, both adult females, from 5.1 km SW Tlanchinol, 1469 m, Municipio de Tlanchinol, on 18 July 1984. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: A species of the schiedii group of Norops; this group is characterized by having smooth ventral scales (weakly keeled in the thoracic region, particularly in females, in some species), a sharply defined canthus rostralis, and heavily keeled supraocular scales. Norops naufragus may be distinguished from all other members of this group by the combination of (1) a relatively long tibia that is 1.08-1.15 times longer than the head length; (2) the body covered with relatively small scales: 54-62 ventrals and 79-96 dorsals, counted between level of axilla and groin; and (3) unicarinate scales on the lateral surface of the antebranchium. (Campbell et al. 1989)
