Sceloporus consobrinus

Sceloporus consobrinus formerly was included in S. undulatus. Dixon (2013) included Calhoun County, Texas, which includes the type locality of S. thayerii, within the distribution of S. consobrinus; however, he did not indicate a morphological basis for distinguishing S. consobrinus from S. cowlesi, nor did he provide genetic evidence for his distributional inference (Crother 2017).

According to Leaché and Reeder (2002), the range includes a large area in central North America, from eastern Colorado, Nebraska, and Missouri southward to at least eastern New Mexico, central Texas, Louisiana, and southern Mississippi. The "eastern extent approaches Mobile Bay" (Leaché and Reeder 2002). Leaché and Reeder (2002) provided only coarse-scale range maps and did not include distributional details for areas where the range of this species adjoins or approaches the ranges of S. undulatus, S. tristichus, or S. cowlesi. Powell et al. (2016) mapped the range as extending from southwestern Wyoming, Nebraska, extreme southern South Dakota, and parts of northern Missouri south through eastern Colorado, eastern New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to southern Texas, portions of southern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, and extreme southwestern Alabama.

This species is represented by a large number of occurrences (subpopulations) and locations.
