Aspidoscelis laredoensis (Laredo Striped Whiptail)

Synonyms: Cnemidophorus laredoensis

Wikipedia Abstract

The Laredo Striped Whiptail (Cnemidophorus laredoensis) is a species of lizard found in the southern United States, in Texas, and northern Mexico in Coahuila and Tamaulipas. Some sources believe it to be the result of extensive hybridization between the Texas Spotted Whiptail, Cnemidophorus gularis, and the Six-lined Racerunner, Cnemidophorus sexlineatus. It is one of many lizard species known to be parthenogenic.
