In Mexico, there are records of lizards of the Eublepharidae family on the coasts of the Atlantic and the Pacific, and are considered threatened. The genus Coleonyx shows a wide distribution but the limits of its geographic range are unknown. Here, we present the first record for C. elegans nemoralis in Mexico State, which represents an expansion of approximately 129km into Central Mexico. In addition, we analyze the distribution of group C. elegans based on its presence records and in a potential distribution model generated with Maxent. The recent discovery of this subspecies in Mexico State may be related with a poor sampling effort or lack of knowledge of subspecies.
