Common Names
Synonym	Alopoglossus festae PERACCA 1904: 7 Alopoglossus festae — RUIBAL 1952: 502 Alopoglossus festae — KÖHLER et al. 2012 Alopoglossus harrisi — HERNÁNDEZ-MORALES et al. 2020 (nom. nov.)
Distribution	Ecuador, SW Colombia (incl. Valle del Cauca), elevation 10-770 m. Type locality: Vinces, Ecuador
Reproduction	oviparous
Types	Holotype: MRSN (= MSNTO) R229
Diagnosis	Diagnosis: Scales on sides of neck small, keeled, mostly granular; gular scales in four longitudinal rows, with median pair distinctly widened; dorsals lanceolate in transverse rows; scales on flanks similar to dorsals; ventrals smooth, posterior margins round [KÖHLER et al. 2012].
Comment	Distribution: see map in KÖHLER et al. 2012. Synonymy: With the synonymization of Ptychoglossus and Alopoglossus, Alopoglossus festae PERACCA 1904 becomes a junior homonym of Diastemalepis (= Alopoglossus) festae PERACCA 1896, hence HERNÁNDEZ-MORALES et al. 2020 proposed a replacement name, Alopoglossus harrisi, for the latter.
