DistributionBrazil (SW Amazonas)

Type locality: E of Porto Urucu, near Petrobras RUC-2, Rio Urucu, Amazonas, Brazil.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: MPEG 15858 Paratypes: RMNH 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Leposoma having a moderately large interparietal scale, with parallel or slightly diverging lateral margins. Supralabials followed by a scale about as large as adjacent temporals. Prefrontals form a short to moderately long medial suture, that between frontoparietals with approximately same length or shorter. Fourth pair of chinshields large. Dorsals mostly hexagonal to rectangular (in oblique position), 31-36 along a longitudinal row. Ventrals 21-23. Scales around midbody 24-26. Flanks completely covered by a wide dark band (Avila-Pires 1995). 
CommentSimilar to L. parietale and older keys would yield that species (they differ mostly in scale characters and body proportions).

Distribution: For a map of localities see Marques-Souza et al. 2022. 
EtymologyNamed after Maria Elizabeth Emilie Snethlage (1868-1929), director of the Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi 1917-1921.
