U. S. National Museum (USNM 10160 A); collected by G.W. Marnock in May 1879 within a 3 mile radius circle around Helotes, Bexar County, Texas, USA (29º 35’ N; 98º 41’ W) .</p><p>Etymology. Holbrookia is derived from the last name of the American zoologist John Edwards Holbrook. Lacerata is derived from the latin word lacerare, which means to cut, destroy, or mangle. Cope (1880) described the posterior border of the transverse brown bars on the dorsum as serrate or digitate. This feature likely brought about the name lacerata .</p><p>Distribution: Holbrookia lacerata includes all populations north of the Balcones Escarpment in Texas. This distribution extends north to the Colorado River, east to the eastern edge of the Balcones Escarpment and west to the Pecos River and southern edge of the Llano Estacado.</p><p>Diagnosis. Morphological description based on measurements and counts from 112 adults. This is a small, earless lizard with an average of 4 (0 – 10) black spots on the underside of the tail. The average snout-vent length (SVL) is 54 mm (32 – 63), paravertebral and dorsolateral body blotches are often fused. An average of 2 (0 – 6) blotches are fused out of an average of 6 (4 – 9) blotches. The blotches form two rows of transverse bands with the dorsal edges of the bands usually narrowing and extending anteriorly. The dark blotches on the hind legs usually form distinct bands with the average number of leg bands and blotches being 7 (4 – 11). Some individuals have black lateral spots on the abdomen and these average 0.4 (0 – 4). The average number of femoral pores on the left leg is 13 (10 – 17). Females and some males develop a red-orange pattern on their throat and neck during the breeding season.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A3C76EFFFDFFA7AC926E8F14A8FF17	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Texas Natural History Collection, University of Texas (TNHC 20000); collected by Ralph W. Axtell on 6 June 1955 in plowed field 4.8 miles east northeast of <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-97.75&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=27.6" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -97.75/lat 27.6)">Bishop</a>, Nueces County, Texas, USA (27º 36’ N; 97º 45’ W) at an elevation of 75 feet .</p><p>Etymology. The name subcaudalis is derived from the latin word sub which means under or below and cauda which means tail. This refers to the dark spots on the underside of the tail in this species.</p><p>Distribution. Holbrookia subcaudalis is composed of all populations south of the Balcones Escarpment in Texas and west to the Sierra Madre Oriental in Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas, Mexico. They are absent from areas with sandy soils.</p><p>Diagnosis. Morphological description based on measurements and counts from 45 adults. This is a small, earless lizard with an average of 5 (1 – 10) black spots on the underside of the tail. The average snout-vent length (SVL) is 56 mm (31 – 72), paravertebral and dorsolateral body blotches are often separated. An average of 0.7 (0 – 6) blotches are fused out of an average of 6 (4 – 9) blotches. The blotches form four rows of transverse mostly circular blotches. The dark blotches on the rear legs are circular in shape and do not form into bands with the average number of leg blotches being 8 (4 – 14). Most individuals have black lateral spots on the abdomen and these average 2.6 (0 – 5). The average number of femoral pores on the left leg is 14 (10 – 19). The female body color is greenish yellow during the breeding season but they do not acquire orange on the throat in either sex.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A3C76EFFFCFFA4AC926C9A143BFD47	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
