DiagnosisDiagnosis: A Myron with 19 scale rows on the neck and at mid body; one preocular scale; large, plate like occipital scales that are posterior and lateral to the parietals. M. resetari can be distinguished from M. richardsonii by its lower scale row count on the neck and at mid body (19 vs. 21); one preocular (two in M. richardsonii and M. karnsi); and its largest upper labial is the 5th compared with the largest upper labial of 6 or 7 in M. richardsonii. It can be distinguished from M. karnsi by the lower number of scale rows at mid body (19 vs. 21) and the blotched pattern on a gray ground color (as opposed to the black ground color and thin yellow crossbands of M. karnsi).
