TypesHolotype: BMNH 81.5.13.25 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: This species is different from other species of Enyalioides in having a superciliary triangular flap projecting posterolaterally over each eye; a wide postorbital process of the squamosal (process narrow in other species); a pair of enlarged dorsal tubercles on the posterolateral aspect of the parietal roof; and in lacking a posteriorly projecting squamosal process of the postorbital (Fig. 8; Wiens & Etheridge 2003). In addition most specimens of E. palpebralis have a discontinuous vertebral crest, with a small gap on the neck, and most lack femoral pores [from TORRES-CARVAJAL et al. 2011].
