Differs from exsul also in having a smaller shoulder spot; femoral pores 27-38, avo 30.5, 96 per cent 28 or more, instead of 19-29, avo 24.8, 11.5 per cent 28 or more; scales between femoral pore series 15-21, av. 16.9, 7 per cent 19 or more, instead of 18-22, av. 20.2, 86 per cent 19 or more; no reddish coloring about eyes or snout in life. Like exsul, and different from all other members of the genus, in lacking tail whorls and subdigital scales between lamellae and fringe scales, and in having well developed groin blotches (Williams 1959). |

| Etymology | From para, Greek for beside, and phygas, Greek for fugitive, in reference to occurrence near the range of exsul, a species widely separated geographically from its known congeners, all restricted to southern California, northern Baja California and northwestern Sonora (Williams et al. 1959). |
