Both _occidentalis_ and _zweifeli_ have variable, diffuse color patterns in large adults, but _zweifeli_ differs from _occidentalis_ in having a blue spot on the pink throat. _Ecology._--In the arid Tepalcatepec Valley _Cnemidophorus sacki zweifeli_ lives at elevations of 160 to 1300 meters. In the lower parts of the valley the lizards live primarily in open scrub forests, characterized by deciduous trees offering only partial shade from the sun, especially during the prolonged dry season. Common trees in this scrub forest are _Acacia cymbispina_, _Cercidium plurifoliolatum_, _Mimosa distachya_, and _Prosopis juliflora_.
