| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Correlophus belepensis sp. nov. is a large (to 100 mm SVL) diplodactylid. It differs from C. sarasinorum in possessing a prominent crest of spinose scales extending from behind the orbit to the shoulder region. It is most similar to its sister taxon C. ciliatus, but may be distinguished from it by its homogeneous dorsolateral trunk scalation (Figs. 12, 13A in BAUER et al. 2012) (versus a raised and enlarged series of scales extending posteriorly from the end of the spinose crest, Fig. 10), and (in three of the four types) its possession of a series of small whitish tubercles on the lower back and/or tail base (Figs. 12, 13A, 14A, 15) (absent in C. ciliatus).
