Widespread along the Pacific coast, from Nayarit to Michoacán. Subspecies: Aspidoscelis l. duodecemlineatus (Lewis), A. l. exoristus (Duellman & Wellman), A. l. lineattissima (Cope) , A. l. lividis (Duellman & Wellman). Karyotype: The karyotype of this species has been studied by Lowe et al. (1970) , who reported a 2n = 52 to be typical of the “ deppei ” group. It was not studied again in this study. DNA taxonomy: The phylogenetic position of this species has not been studied with molecular markers. The phylogenetic tree confirms the placement of A. lineattissima within the “ deppei ” group ( Reeder et al. 2002 ) ( Fig. 14 ). In fact, A. lineattissima results as sister species of A. deppei (bootstrap values 63–91%) within a clade that also includes A. guttatus (66% with NJ and 63% with ML). This is the first report of a relationship between A. lineattissima and A. deppei .
