Gulf Coast horned lizard Gulf Coast horned lizard The Gulf Coast horned lizard ("Phrynosoma wigginsi" ) is a species of horned lizards native to Baja California, Mexico. "Phrynosoma wigginsi" was split from "Phrynosoma coronatum" in 2004 on morphological evidence. "P. wigginsi" has a tan rather than chocolate forehead, a fourth "subrictal" spine below the eye, and a longer head than "P. coronatum".

The geographic range of "P. wigginsi" is restricted to the region around Mulegé and Loreto on the Gulf Coast
