Comment	Synonymy partly after SMITH & TAYLOR 1950. Not listed by SMith 1946, Handbook of Lizards. Suspecies: Aspidoscelis burti stictogramma (BURGER 1950) and Aspidoscelis burti xanthonota (DUELLMAN & LOWE 1953) are now considered as valid species.
Etymology	Named after Dr. Charles Earle Burt (1904-1963), American herpetologist. He took his bachelor's degree at Kansas State Agricultural College, and his master's degree (1927) and doctorate (1930) at the University of Michigan. He worked at the American Museum of Natural History (1929-1930) and taught at Trinity College, Waxahachie, Texas (1930-1931), and at Southwestern College, Winfield, Kansas (1932-1944).
