Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A medium-sized species (snout– vent length [SVL] in largest specimen 51.3 mm) of the genus Norops (sensu Guyer and Savage, 1987, 1992) that belongs to the Norops schiedei species group (sensu Nieto-Montes de Oca, 2001). Norops campbelli differs from species of the N. schiedei group by the following characteristics (condition for N. campbelli in parentheses): Norops cobanensis: hemipenis small and unilobate (large and bilobate); scales comprising supraorbital semicircles usually distinctly larger than scales between semicircles (about subequal); smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most mid-ventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); some keels usually oblique or oriented transversely immediately anterior to prefrontal depression (oriented nearly longitudinally); scales in prefrontal depression mostly smooth (all scales in prefrontal depression strongly keeled); circumorbital row usually complete (rudimentary or almost absent). Norops cuprinus: prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal); lorilabial row usually complete (usually incomplete). Norops cymbobs: para-vertebral scales slightly to moderately, albeit distinctly larger than scales in adjacent rows (paravertebral scales not larger than scales in adjacent rows); smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most midventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); few or most preantebrachials and supra-antebrachials multicarinate (all unicarinate); prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal). Norops duellmani: prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal). Norops hobartsmithi: smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most midventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal); scales in prefrontal depression mostly smooth (all scales in prefrontal depression strongly keeled); circumorbital row usually complete (rudimentary or almost absent); lorilabial row usually complete (usually incomplete). Norops johnmeyeri: postanal scales moderately enlarged in males (not enlarged); dewlap well developed in both sexes (not developed in females); smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most midventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal). Norops matudai: smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most midventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal); lorilabial row usually complete (usually incomplete). Norops milleri: paravertebral scales slightly to moderately, albeit distinctly, larger than scales in adjacent rows (paravertebral scales not larger than scales in adjacent rows); smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most mid-ventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal). Norops naufragus: smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most midventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); middorsal scales between levels of axilla and groin 82–100 (68–69); few or most preantebrachials and supra-antebrachials multicarinate (all unicarinate). Norops parvicirculatus: scales comprising supraorbital semicir cles distinctly smaller than scales between semicircles (about subequal); smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most midventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal); circumorbital row usually complete (rudimentary or almost absent). Norops pijolensis: middorsal scales between levels of axilla and groin 43–54 (68–69); smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most midventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal). Norops polyrhachis: smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most midventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled). Norops purpurgularis: horizontal loreal rows 7–9 (5–6); middorsal scales between levels of axilla and groin 52–62 (68– 69); smooth or only some faintly keeled midventral scales (most midventral scales weakly, yet definitely keeled); prenasal distinct (prenasal fused with circumnasal). Norops schiedei: some keels usually oblique or oriented transversely immediately anterior to prefrontal depression and in depression (all head keels oriented nearly longitudinally). |
Comment | Species group: Norops auratus Species Group (fide Nicholson et al. 2012). Not listed by Nicholson et al. 2018. Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
Etymology | The specific epithet honors the foremost student of Guatemalan herpetology, Jonathan Campbell (1947-), American herpetologist, who also collected one of the type specimens and photographed the only two known specimens. See Murphy 1997 for biographical notes. |
