The dunes sagebrush lizard, ''Sceloporus arenicolus'', (formerly known as the sand dune lizard and the dunes-sagebrush lizard, ''Sceloporus graciosus arenicolus'', a subspecies of sagebrush lizard), is an insectivorous spiny lizard species which only occurs in the shinnery oak sand dune systems of extreme southeast New Mexico and only four counties in adjacent Texas. ''Sceloporus arenicolus'' has the second-smallest range of all lizards in the United States. ==Habitat== Their habitat requirements include large networks of shinnery oak (''Quercus havardii''), which are short (<2 m) shrubs, and a sloping, sandy topography, where the lizards use "blowouts" as their primary microhabitat. Blowouts are sandy, bowl-shaped interruptions in the shinnery oak sand dune system which look like small meteor crators. The roots of the shinnery oak shrubs provide structure for the dunes sagebrush lizards' burrows, where the lizards retreat from the blowouts when the sand surface is too hot or cold.
