| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A. grilli differs from A. undulatus in having less distinctively heterogeneous scalation: enlarged dorsal body scales grading gradually into smaller flank scales rather than being abruptly larger, nape without enlarged, erect scales, no dorsolateral rows of enlarged, keeled scales, supradigital scales of hand smooth rather than indistinctly unior multicarinate, keeled ventral scales in more (17 to 25 versus 13 to 19) longitudinal rows, and a larger adult size (maximum snout-vent length of females 97 mm, males 79 mm, versus females 83 mm, males 70 mm). A. grilli differs from A. longicauda in having a larger external ear, larger than the interparietal scale rather than conspicuously smaller, in having an antehumeral-transverse gular fold, and a shorter tail (mean tail/total length in males 0.73, females 0.71, versus males 0.77, females 0.74).

| Comment | Synonymy following that of ETHERIDGE & WILLIAMS 1991 and CEI 1993 with additions from BOULENGER 1885. BOULENGER 1886 synonymized Laemanctus obtusirostris with A. undulatus (which is listed in this database also as a valid species). ETHERIDGE & WILLIAMS 1991 suggested to suppress Laemanctus obtusirostris WIEGMANN 1834 and Laemanctus Fitzingeri WIEGMANN 1834 as these names have hardly been used in the 20th century.
