Other alternative designations for Anelytropis
locality below: 0.6 miles E. of km. 110 on Hwy. 70
and 9.0 miles E. of La Boquilla on Hwy. 70
15.3 miles E. Rio Verde via Hwy. 70,
San Luis Potosi, 1:00 - 2:50 pm
Avery arid area on the plateau west of the
Sierra Madre. Worked a south flowing gully (dry)
for Cnemidophorus and found 2 Anelytropis
papillosus instead. Both specimens were
under a white flowered bush (flowers, fruits &
leaves collected) at the leaf litter - loose soil
interface on the downhill side from the main
trunk of the bush They were found under. The
smaller specimen was found on the west side of
the gully & the larger was found on the east
side. The technique employed was exactly that
used in hunting for [illegible] Anniella in
California - just raking away the
leaf litter layer & then raking away the
loose soil beneath.
The larger specimen defecated a
blackish substance and bit me, and both
specimens wriggled violently when held in the hand.
The smaller specimen was pinkish in color ventrally
& brownish above. The larger specimen
lacked the pink ventral color.
