are all the id's on this page correct?

Xenith- collected in northwest las vegas, zip code 89131
Xarthi- collected near Valley of Fire State park
Xephyr- collected near Valley of Fire State park
Xephyra-collected in north west las vegas, zip code 89131
Xeneva-collected near Valley of Fire State park

I think that they are all Coleonyx v. variegatus. The only other possibility is C. v. utahensis, or an intergrade.

thanks,

According to my trusty Peterson Field Guide to Western Reptiles (Third Edition):

C. v. variegatus: Usually 7 or fewer preanal pores in males. Dark body bands same width as, or narrower than, interspaces between them; bands with light centers, or replaced by spots. Light collar mark indistinct or absent. Head spotted.

C. v. utahensis: Dark body bands in adult wider than interspaces; edges of bands highly irregular, often merged with dark spots in interspaces.

From your photos, I would say they are all C. v. variegatus except of course for Loki and Moki the two C. mitratus.
