The Blue Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus serrifer) is a species of lizard that ranges from the United States in southern Texas, through the eastern states of Mexico, to Central America in Guatemala and Belize.
[edit] Subspecies
There are four recognized subspecies of S. serrifer, but the subspecies are known to intergrade in areas where their geographic ranges overlap, so differentiating them can be difficult:
- Blue Spiny Lizard, Sceloporus serrifer cyanogenys (Cope, 1885)
- West Gulf Spiny Lizard, Sceloporus serrifer plioporus (Smith, 1939)
- Sceloporus serrifer prezygus (Smith, 1942)
- Yucatán Spiny Lizard, Sceloporus serrifer serrifer (Cope, 1866)
