Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Alopoglossus collii is distinguished from all other species of Alopoglossus by the combination of the following characters: (1) scales on the sides of the neck non-granular, keeled, imbricate (at least medial and posterior ones phylloid), in eight or nine transverse rows; (2) three pairs of chin shields; (3) third pair of chin shields with rounded posterior margins, in direct contact with gulars or separated from them by small scales; (4) absence of a pair of medial enlarged pregular scales (see Remarks below); (5) scales on gular region varying in shape and size: lateral ones strongly keeled, pointed, phylloid (except the anterior ones); the first three anterior transverse rows with scales smooth, almost rounded, larger than those in the proceeding row (anteriormost row with the largest scales); medial and posterior ones smooth, almost rounded, bluntly pointed, larger than lateral ones; (6) ventral scales mucronate, imbricate, with bluntly pointed posterior margins, varying from smooth to feebly keeled; (7) total number of femoral pores in males 19–22.
