SSAR 9th Edition Comments:
Farleigh et al. (2021, Molecular Ecology 30: 4481–4496) presented evidence from phylogeographic analyses of nuclear SNP data that P. goodei, previously recognized based on mtDNA phylogeny (Mulcahy et al., 2006, Molecular Ecology 15: 1807–1826), is part of one of three genetic clusters within P. platyrhinos, although they did not propose taxonomic unification. Following Mulcahy et al. (op. cit.) and Sherbrooke (2020, Phrynosomatics 25: 1, 3–12), we have changed the standard English name of this species from “Goode’s Horned Lizard” used in the previous version of this list.
