The Rosebelly Lizard ("Sceloporus variabilis") is a species of lizard which ranges from the United States in southern Texas, through eastern Mexico and into Central America as far south as Costa Rica.

Subspecies

There are three recognized subspecies of "S. variabilis":

*"Sceloporus variabilis marmoratus" (Hallowell, 1852)
*"Sceloporus variabilis variabilis" (Wiegmann, 1834)
*"Sceloporus variabilis olloporus" (Smith, 1937)

Some sources consider "S. v. marmoratus" to be its own species, and some sources also consider "S. v. olloporus" to be merely a locality variation of "S. v. variabilis", and not an actual subspecies.
