Holcosus festivus, commonly known as the Central American whiptail, the Middle American ameiva, and the tiger ameiva, is a species of lizard in the family Teiidae. The species is native to Central America and northern South America.[1]

Geographic range

H. festivus is found from southern Mexico to Colombia.[1]

Description

H. festivus is brown-colored, with darker browns making a zig-zag pattern down the back. A similar species is Holcosus quadrilineatus. Juveniles have metallic-blue tails.[2]

Habitat

H. festivus lives in open habitats.[2]

Subspecies

Three subspecies are recognized, including the nominotypical subspecies.[1]

Nota bene: A taxon author (binomial authority or trinomial authority) in parentheses indicates that the taxon (species or subspecies) was originally described in a different genus (in this case, a genus other than Holcosus).

Etymology

The subspecific name, edwardsii, is in honor of French zoologist Alphonse Milne-Edwards.[3]
