Comment 
EtymologyNamed after Latin parvus, small, little + Latin socius, sharing; associated; allied. [“...In the vicinity of the city of Oaxaca the very large Cnemidophorus sacki australis is found together with C. sacki bocourti, a smaller form. Cnemidophorus s. australis also occurs in northern Oaxaca and adjacent Puebla and is paired with a smaller species that has escaped the critical attention of herpetologists...”].
