Reporting on the first locality in Nicaragua, we extend the known geographic distribution of Aspidoscelis motaguae (Sackett, 1941) about 43 km southeastward from its nearest known locality, in Honduras. We shortly discuss some conservational implications and provide a photo of one Nicaraguan individual that was not collected.
