There were formerly two subspecies recognized of the California Legless Lizard, ''A. p. pulchra'', the Silvery Legless Lizard, and ''A. p. nigra'', the Black Legless Lizard. However, modern taxonomic classification considers the black legless lizard to simply be a melanistic form. <ref>[http://californiaherps.com/lizards/pages/a.pulchra.html Description of the species on CaliforniaHerps.com]</ref> |
