CommentConservation: Sceloporus goldmani is considered to be extinct because recent field surveys have failed to detect this species at multiple historical collecting localities (Sinervo et al., 2010; Bryson et al., 2012). 
EtymologyThe Latin genitive singular honors Edward A. Goldman, one of the collectors of the paratypes of the species. He was a prominent naturalist and author, first employed in 1892 by the U. S. Biological Survey, under whose auspices he and Edward W. Nelson made their famous survey of the terrestrial vertebrates of Mexico around the turn of the century. Their 12-year collection was the largest single such collection ever made in Mexico.
