<strong>The</strong> following polytypic species are not assigned to subspecies in<br />

<strong>Sinaloa</strong> at this time: Syrrhophus modestus, Ctenosaura hemilopha,<br />

Masticophis bilineatus, Phyllorhynchus browni, P. decurtatus, <strong>and</strong><br />

Sympkolis lippiens.<br />

Several species are not included in the fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sinaloa</strong> even<br />

though some have been reported from the state <strong>and</strong> others are likely<br />

to be found there in the future; these are: Leptodactylus melanonotus,<br />

Rana montezumae, Anolis nebuloides, Hysiglena ochrorhyncha,<br />

Kinosternon hirtipes, Gerrhonotus imbricatus ciliaris, <strong>and</strong> Tharnnophis<br />

melanogaster melanogaster.<br />

Each species that occurs in the state is discussed in terms <strong>of</strong> its<br />

taxonomic status, habitat, <strong>and</strong> geographical distribution. In addition,<br />

information on life history, ecology, <strong>and</strong> morphological variation<br />

are presented when such facts are known or are pertinent.<br />

No new taxa are described in this paper.
