【 摘 要 】

Twenty-five adult males and 22 adult females from different populations along the distribution range of Cnemidophorus lacertoides were compared using color and six morphometrics variables. Sexual differences in snout-vent lenght were tested by analysis of variance. Sexual differences in tail lenght, tail width, head lenght, head width, and head weight were tested by analysis of covariance using snout-vent lenght as the covariate. All measurements but snout-vent were significantly different between sexes, males being larger than females. Adult males also have a green coloration on the lateral sidesof the body not seen in females.
