We report here five new localities across the distribution of the lizard , extending its current geographic range to the west, in the Cordillera Central of Hispaniola. We also report phenotypic variation in the color pattern and scutellation on throat and pelvic regions of males from both eastern and western populations, which is described below. Furthermore, based on these new data, we confirm that the species is not fitting in its current IUCN category, and in consequence propose updating its conservation status.
我们在此报告了该蜥蜴分布范围内的五个新地点,将其当前地理范围向西扩展至伊斯帕尼奥拉岛中部山脉。我们还报告了来自东部和西部种群的雄性蜥蜴在喉部和骨盆区域的颜色图案和鳞片排列方面的表型变异,如下所述。此外,基于这些新数据,我们确认该物种不符合其当前在世界自然保护联盟(IUCN)的类别,因此提议更新其保护状态。
