Notes
Multiple were seen along this and the neighboring ridge but they were very fast and this was the only one I managed to voucher. The graciocus only occurred in recently burned chaparal that had very sandy soil and scattered rock outcrops, while fence lizards occurred in a much wider variety of habitats in the same area
