Campeche Spiny-tailed Iguana
Ctenosaura alfredschmidti (Kohler 1995)

Probably the rarest of the ctenosauras, C. alfredschmitdti has only been found in a locality in southern Campeche, Mexico, and El Mirador Río Azul National Park in north eastern Guatemala. The maximum snout/vent length, so far, has been recorded as 173mm (6 7/8 inches). Since so few specimens have been collected, the maximum length probably is more. C. alfredschmidti inhabits the typical Yucatan type hot humid forests. They are known to take refuge in rocky areas and in tree holes. Their diet probably consists mostly of plant matter and occasional insects that cross their path.
