| Diagnosis | Diagnosis (n=2). Allied to Lygosoma courcyanum, from which the new form differs in possessing a longer body; (probably shorter limbs), a smaller number of lamellae under the fourth toe, fewer supraciliaries, and a larger scale count down the middle of the back. The two forms also differ in coloration. Some of these differences may break down with more material.
