Abstract
We record the new highest elevation of two endemic lizards from Mexico. Our records for the Largescale Spiny Lizard Sceloporus megalepidurus Smith, 1934 extends 310 m its previous highest record, from 3,080 to 3,390 m in Peñon de Tlaxco, and for the Eastern Spiny Lizard S. spinosus Wiegmann, 1828 extends 360 m its previous highest record, from 2,670 to 3,030 m in the volcano La Malinche, both records in Tlaxcala, Mexico. We discuss our observations in the context of global climate change, habitat alterations, and the ecological implications in the new environment.
