L^, U h /o Vol. 58, pp. 5-10 March 21, 1945 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON A NEW GERRHONOTUS LIZARD FROM UTAH. BY ANGUS M. WOODBURY. A specimen of Gerrhonotus taken in Kane County, extreme southern Utah, in August, 1933, not previously reported for lack of supporting specimens, is being described at this time in order to make the information available to other workers in the field. This appears to be the first specimen of the genus reported from Utah, and seems to be widely separated from other known races of the genus. I am indebted to Henry S. Fitch, Hobart M. Smith and Joe Tihen for advice and to T. L. Rodgers of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology of Berkeley, California for the loan of comparative material. The terminology used herein differs somewhat from that of Fitch (Amer. Mid. Nat., 1938:381-424) in his systematic account of the Alli-gator Lizards (Gerrhonotus). After consultation with Smith and Tihen and reference to other literature, I have adopted the following terms which are correlated with the Fitch terminology in the following table, most of which was worked out by Dr. Smith for use in his handbook: Woodbury Fitch Supranasals-Anterior pair of internasals Internasals..._ Posterior internasals Frontonasal Azygous prefrontal Prefrontals Prefrontals Frontal Frontoparietal Frontoparietals Anterior parietals Interparietal....
