 Sexual Dimorphism of the Leopard Lizards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Gambelia sila, the blunt-nosed leopard lizard, shows the ancestral iguanian condition of sexual dimorphism in that the territorial male is usually larger and has a more robust head than the female (Montanucci, 1965; Stebbins, 1985).
Gambelia wislizenii, the long-nosed leopard lizard, has reversed sexual dimorphism in that the female is significantly larger than the male (Montanucci, 1967).

Gambelia wislizenii is a taxonomic oddity comprising a double patronym.
The pendulum of taxonomic nomenclature continues to swing back and forth between Gambelia and Crotaphytus, but for now, the former is the accepted genus for Leopard lizards.
So we conclude that while two patronyms may be lot of baggage to lug around, the Long-nosed leopard lizard can be justly proud of being christened in honor of two such distinguished pioneers in the natural history of Western United States.

 K. Blunt-Nosed Leopard Lizard (Gambelia sila)
This generic split was not universally agreed upon and the status, both generic and specific, of the lizards remained controversial until Montanucci (1970) presented a solid argument for specific status based upon the study of hybrids between the long-nosed and blunt-nosed leopard lizards.
