| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Oedura elegans sp. nov. can be distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of traits: moderately large adult size (SVl mean 77.4, max 89.4 mm); relatively long and rounded original and regrown tail (original: Tl/SVl = 0.66–0.83, TW/Tl = 0.13–0.18, TD/TW = 0.63–0.74; regrown: Tl/SVl = 0.60–0.76, TW/ Tl = 0.18–0.22, TD/TW = 0.71–0.81); relatively narrow head (HW/SVl = 0.17–0.18); rostral scale only partially divided by medial vertical groove; single cloacal spur on each side; moderate number of interorbital scales (17–21); < 18 pre-cloacal pores in males (mean 15, range 13–17), split medially by 1–3 scales without pores; iris copper coloured; unbroken pale bar on the nape; dorsal colouration consisting of a vertebral series of paired, connected white spots (dumbbells), each surrounded by thin dark edging and not connected to each other; dorsal background and lateral surfaces evenly flecked; no broad dark band connecting back of eye to nape marking; no spots on limbs; original tail with paired white spots along dorsal midline.
