| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A medium-sized Luperosaurus distinguished by the following combination of characteristics: moderate size (snout-vent 66.5 mm); habitus slender, elongate; dorsal tubercles small, rounded, not keeled, and about twice as large as surrounding dorsal scales; tubercles in about six longitudinal rows at the posterior end of the body, in adjacent rows separated by 8-18 granular dorsal scales in this region (rows indistinct anteriorly); 18 entire lamellae to the base of the fourth digit (left pes) (fig. la), chevron-shaped beneath the hyperextensible portions of the digit; digits with basal webs extending between proximal portions but not connecting the hyperextensible portions (Fig. 1b); breadth of fourth digit (pes) at its widest point about 42.5% of its length; cutaneous folds bordering the posterior aspect of both front and hind limbs mildly developed, extending from elbow and knee to lateral border of fifth digit (Fig. 1c); no lateral body fold but tail with much enlarged ventrolateral tubercles (Fig. 1d); type (female) with a series of 32 preanofemoral pores (perforated scales), covering approximately the basal ⅘ of the thigh on either side but poorly developed laterally; rostral scale not entering nostril (rostral enters nostril in all other species of Luperosaurus). (Russell 1979) Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers.

| Comment | Synonymy: Luperosaurus serraticaudus was described by OTA et al. (1996) on the basis of a single specimen and later synoymized with L. browni by BROWN et al. (2000). |
