DistributionUSA (New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma),
Mexico (NE Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Durango, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi, Querétaro, Veracruz, Aguascalientes, Michoacan, Jalisco, Hidalgo, Guanajuato, Campeche)
Guatemala (fide STUART 1935: 47)

Type locality: Indianola and the Valley of the Rio Grande del Norte. Restricted to mouth of Devils River, Texas by SMITH & TAYLOR 1950.

colossus: Mexico (San Luis Potosi, E Queretaro); Type locality: Sierra Madre Oriental in San Luis Potosi and eastern Queretaro.

gularis: New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas; Mexico (Coahuila, Tamaulipas)

meeki: Type locality: Mexico: Garza Valdez, Tamaulipas; S. E. Meek; 1903.

semiannulatus: Mexico (Zacatecas); Type locality: Mexico, Zacatecas, 3 miles SE Guadalupe, along the Aguascalientes-Zacatecas highway.

semifasciatus: Nexico (Coahuila); Type locality: Mexico, Coahuila, Agua Nueva.

septemvittata: USA (Texas), Mexico (Chihuahua, Coahuila; Type locality: “El Dorado County, California” (in error). Restricted to Marfa, Presidio County, Texas (fide SMITH & TAYLOR 1950).  
ReproductionOviparous. Bisexual species. Forstner et al. (1998) present evidence that Cnemidophorus septemvittatus and C. gularis hybridize in nature. However, they still recommend to consider both species as valid due to recognizable phenotypic differences. Aspidoscelis gularis also hybridizes with Aspidoscelis laredoensis.

CommentSynonymy mainly after SMITH & TAYLOR 1950.

Subspecies after LINER 1994. The status of Cnemidophorus gularis rauni WALKER 1967 remains unclear. This subspecies has been erected in Walker’s thesis but we have seen only the Dissertation abstract which doesn’t have much detail and no type information. Forstner et al. (1998) present evidence that Cnemidophorus (scalaris) septemvittatus and C. gularis hybridize in nature (Forstner et al. 1998). However, they still recommend to consider both species as valid due to recognizable phenotypic differences. See also discussion in CROTHER 2000 and TAYLOR et al. 2012.

Distribution: Neill & Allen 1959 reported this species from British Honduras (Belize). Not in Yucatan state (Mexico) according to GONZÁLEZ-SÁNCHEZ et al. 2017.

Group: the A. gularis group was traditionally composed of Aspidoscelis gularis colossus, A. g. gu- laris, A. g. pallidus, A. g. rauni, A. g. scalaris, A. g. semian- nulatus, A. g. semifasciatus, and A. g. septemvittatus (Esquivel-Ramírez et al. 2021). 
EtymologyThe specific epithet, gularis, is derived from the Latin word gula, meaning "throat," probably in reference to the bright coloration of the throat in males (Lemos-Espinal & Dixon 2013).
