Resumen:
Pristidactylus scapulatus is a medium-sized lizard (mean SVL = 105 mm) that inhabits mainly rocky areas with large shrubswhere it shelters (Cei 1986. Reptiles del centro, centro-oeste y sur de Argentina: Herpetofauna de las Zonas Aridas y Semiáridas. Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat. Torino. Monogr. IV. 527 pp.). The species is mainly insectivorous (Etheridge and Williams 1985. Breviora 483:118; Cei 1986, op. cit.; Acosta et al. 2004. Herpetol. Rev. 35:171172), however, there are multiple cases of saurophagy (Sanabria and Quiroga 2009. Herpetol. Rev. 40:349350; Villavicencio et al. 2009. Herpetol. Rev. 40:225226; Victorica et al. 2018. Herpetol. Rev. 49:539) and frugivory (Acosta et al. 2004, op. cit.). Here we report on P. scapulatus eating flowers from montane Puna grasslands, in the Andes Mountains of Argentina.
