Tim Manolis found and identified this interesting male Platycryptus and gave it to me to photograph later on. He commented, in part, that he found this "pale, pattern-less Platycryptus californicus I have only seen in that area. It is an adult male, as have been all the others I have seen there. The local females seem to be more typical in pattern.... Unfortunately, the pale scales become translucent in alcohol and they look like typical Platycryptus".
