Granular scales in axilla, extending over arm but not extending onto sides of neck. Homogeneous dorsal scales between pale dorsolateral lines that usually lack raised scales in outer row, providing little demarcation between dorsal and lateral scales. Pre-cloacal pores 4; femoral pores 0 (Melville et al. 2019: 43). |
| Comment | Distribution: for a map see Melville et al. 2019: 41 (Fig. 14). Specimens of D. margaretae were formerly assigned to D. magna, meaning now that D. magna does not occur in the north-west Kimberley region. |
| Etymology | From the Latin magnus (large) in reference to the size. (G. Shea, pers. comm., 9 Feb 2024) |
