Panamint Alligator Lizard vs. Southern Alligator Lizard
Their ranges do not meet: desert canyons of the Inyo, White and Panamint ranges (Panamint) vs west of the deserts (Southern Alligator). A: Pale yellow, beige or grey with broad, clean-edged brown bands in the Panamint Alligator Lizard; brown to grey with narrower dark crossbands, flecked white in the Southern Alligator Lizard. B: Desert canyon bottoms with springs and willows, Inyo and Mono counties in the Panamint Alligator Lizard; grassland, chaparral and woodland west of the deserts in the Southern Alligator Lizard. RANGE IS THE SUREST WAY TO TELL THEM APART: where you are decides which one it is; the rows below help confirm it.
