Description of the holotype. Adult male; snout-vent length 54.2 mm; tail length 50.0 mm; other body measurements in Table 4. Head scales smooth, juxtaposed, glossy, with small pits organized mainly around their margins. Rostral single, hexagonal, wider than high, dorsally in broad contact with the internasal and laterally in contact with the first supralabial and the nasal. Frontonasal single, wider than long, pentagonal, in contact with the nasal, loreal and prefrontals. Prefrontals two, wider laterally and narrower medially, in contact, touching the frontonasal, the frontal, the anterior supraocular, and the loreal. Frontal single, hexagonal, longer than wide, wider anteriorly, in contact with the prefrontals, the first supraocular and the frontoparietals. Frontoparietals pentagonal, longer than wide, narrower anteriorly, contacting one to three supraoculars laterally, and the parietal and interparietals posteriorly. Supraoculars four, the anterior most nearly as wide as long and the other two wider than long, decreasing in size antero-posteriorly, contacting the superciliaries laterally and the parietal and uppermost postocular posteriorly. Interparietal single, heptagonal, longer than wide, narrower than the parietals and contacting laterally the parietals and posteriorly the postparietals. Parietals two, hexagonal, wider than long, slightly shorter and wider than the interparietal, contacting the temporals laterally and the postparietals posteriorly. Postparietals in two rows, three in the anterior row and two in the posterior row. Nasal single, rhomboidal, wider than high, contacting the first and second supralabials, the loreal and frenocular. Loreal single, quadrangular, over the frenocular, in contact with first superciliary dorsally. Frenocular single, quadrangular in contact with the first infraocular and the second and third supralabials. Superciliaries three, the anteriormost noticeable larger than the others, contacting the uppermost preocular. Suboculars five, contacting supralabials three to five. Postoculars two, increasing in size antero-posteriorly. Temporals 26, contacting supralabials five to eight. Supralabials eight and infralabials six. Mental single, pentagonal, wider than long, contacting the first infralabial and post-mental. Postmental single, pentagonal, contacting the first two infralabials and the anterior genials. Genials in three pairs, the anterior one quadrangular and the posterior two pentagonal. The anterior two in contact medially and the posterior one separated by postgenials; contacting infralabials two, three, and four. Pregulars two. Gular scales eight, wider than long, in two longitudinal rows; collar scales 17, decreasing in size laterally. Dorsal scales longer than wide, hexagonal, keeled, imbricate, arranged in 30 transverse rows. Longitudinal rows of dorsal scales 24, the first two rows in each side weakly keeled and rounded. Lateral row scales at mid-body one, smooth, at least half the size of adjacent scales. Scales around mid-body 45. Longitudinal rows of ventrals six, quadrangular. Transverse rows of ventrals 20. Cloacal plates in two rows of two quadrangular scales each, the posterior row larger than the anterior one, in contact with two small scales laterally. Tail scales arranged in 62 rings, hexagonal and keeled dorsally, quadrangular and smooth ventrally. Limbs pentadactyl with clawed fingers. Dorsal brachial and antebrachial scales lanceolate to polygonal, longer than wide, imbricate and smooth. Ventral brachial and antebrachial scales lanceolate to polygonal, almost as long as wide, juxtaposed, much smaller than the dorsal ones. Dorsal hand scales hexagonal, wider but shorter than the dorsal antebrachial scales. Finger length formula IV = III> II> V> I. Supradigital scales quadrangular, imbricate and longer than wide. Palmar scales polygonal, juxtaposed and small. Subdigital lamellae domelike with a quadrangular base, and often divided longitudinally, with six on finger I, 8 on II, 13 on III, 15 on IV, and 7 on V. Thigh scales on the dorsal, anterior and ventral surfaces lanceolate to rhomboidal, longer than wide, those in the dorsal surface smooth and the others smooth and imbricate. Thigh scales on the posterior surface of the legs rounded, smooth, juxtaposed and much smaller than those of the anterior and dorsal surfaces. Two femoral pores per leg; preanal pores absent. Anterior and ventral crus scales polygonal and smooth. Lateral and posterior crus scales rounded, small and subimbricate. Toe length formula IV> III> V> II> I. Supradigital scales quadrangular, imbricate and longer than wide. Plantar scales polygonal, juxtaposed and small. Subdigital lamellae domelike with a quadrangular base, and often divided longitudinally, with five on Toe I, 9 on II, 13 on III, 15 on IV, and 7 on V.
