Out more caught. A new species for us - has
a bluish wash on the back.
68 Hypsiglena Philip found
this one under a fallen, rotting yucca log.
There were many invertebrates under
the yucca logs: millipedes, centipedes, scorpions,
tenebrionid beetles, etc. Also the ground was soft -
almost ash-like. We thought all of these factors
might make for good Anelytropsis hunting but
we didn't find it.
4.3 miles W. San Rafael, San Luis Potosi
via Mex. Hwy. 80. A slightly more diverse
area than the last spot but essentially the
same kind of habitat.
Sceloporus cautus Jim got one
from under a yucca log. Color in life: lateral
belly patches bluish green medially facing to yellowish
green laterally; belly patches bordered medially by
black - this black not meeting medially. Throat
dark but with a distinct later green spot
on each side of the post. part of the throat. No other
chromatic color.
Hypsiglena Sam got one
from out at the base of a dead yucca; in the roots.
