''Sceloporus aurantius'' is a species of phrynosomatid lizard native to Central America. It was discovered by University of Washington biologists in May 2014 upon isolating gene pools from those of Sceloporus brownorum.〔JARED A. GRUMMER & ROBERT W. BRYSON, JR. A new species of bunchgrass lizard (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae) from the southern sky islands of the Sierra Madre Occidental, Mexico. http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2014/f/z03790p450f.pdf〕 ==Description== This bunchgrass lizard was mistakenly categorized as a subspecies of ''Sceloporus brownorum'', but features different morphological characteristics, most notably, the lack of blue belly patches in males. The uniqueness of this species lies in its orange sides on their bellies, which plays a major role in selective reproduction. ''Sceloporus aurantius'' is similar to ''Sceloporus chaneyi'' which does not have these blue patches, but differs from this species in size, number of dorsal scales and number of scales around the midsection.〔“A New Species of Lizard Discovered in Recent Research.” http://dailyuw.com/archive/2014/05/21/science/new-species-lizard-discovered-recent-research#.U4lE2vldVUU.
