Aspidoscelis

Wikipedia Abstract

Aspidoscelis is a genus of whiptail lizards in the family Teiidae. The nomenclature for this genus was published by T.W. Reeder et al. in 2002. Many species that were formerly included in the genus Cnemidophorus are now considered Aspidoscelis based upon divergent characters between the two groups. The name Aspidoscelis literally means "shield-leg", from the Ancient Greek aspido- ("shield") and skelos ("leg").
