| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Syntypes: ZMUC |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A. longicauda differs from A. undulatus and A. grilli in lacking an antehumeral-transverse gular fold, in having in external ear opening conspicuously smaller, rather than larger, than the interparietal scale and a longer tail (mean tail/ total length 0.77 in males, 0.74 in females). It further flitters from A. undulatus in having less distinctively heterogeneous m illation: enlarged dorsal body scales grading into rather than abruptly distinct from lateral bod) scales, nape without enlarged. projecting scales, no dorsolateral row of large, keeled scales, and a larger maximum size (snout-vent length in males 79 mm, females 98 mm, versus males 70 mm, females 83 mm). It further differs from A. grilli in having multicarinate rather than smooth supradigital scales [from ETHERIDGE & WILLIAMS 1991]. |
