ASPIDOSCELIS AT TWO FORT SUMNER SITES
The first specimen of A. neomexicana reported from the Pecos River drainage in De Baca County was collected on 9 June 2002 at FS1, Fort SumnerDe Baca County Landfill (table 1; fig. 7; appendix 6) in the suburbs of Fort Sumner ( Taylor, 2002). Subsequently, in three visits to FS 1 in 2002 and 2003, a site consisting of frequently altered patches of roadside weeds, mounds of earth, and debris ( fig. 7), GJM found syntopic associations of A. neomexicana , A. sexlineata viridis , and A. tesselata E. Both E. D. Parker (personal commun.) and JMW collected and observed only A. sexlineata viridis and A. tesselata E at FS 1 in 1973 and 1996–1998, respectively.
At FS2, Fort SumnerRailroad Depot, consisting of the railroad rightofway and a bordering mesquite association ( fig. 7), GJM found a large number of A. neomexicana including AMNH R151741 used in karyotypic and electrophoretic analyses (appendix 7). In five visits to the Fort SumnerRailroad Depot in 2002 and 2003, he observed syntopic associations of A. neomexicana , A. sexlineata viridis , and A. tesselata E.
