DistributionUSA (Texas), Mexico (Atlantic lowlands from San Antonio, Texas, south to S Tamaulipas, west to Coahuila, Nuevo León).

Type locality: San Antonio, [Bexar Co.] Texas.  
Reproductionoviparous. 
TypesHolotype: lost. Cope (1900) noted USNM 2892 as a "type" from San Antonio (under S. variabilis, with which he synonymized it) but it too is lost. Furthermore it is uncertain whether it was the type of delicatissimus or marmoratus, both described by Hallowell on the same page, from the same locality and taken by the same collector, Dr. S. W. Woodhouse
Holotype: USNM 16020, collected by S. W. Woodhouse [delicatissimus] 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Smith 1939: 272 
CommentSynonymy: Mendoza-Quijano et al. (1998) recognized Sceloporus v. marmoratus and S. v. olloporus as a distinct species (based on molecular evidence). 
EtymologyThe Greek marmaros, "marble," and Latin -atus, "pertaining to the nature of," presumably refer to the perceived marble-like appearance of the type.
