| Types | Holotype: NTM R34506 (formerly CAWC [Central Australian Wildlife Collection] R1568, incorrectly cited as R1565 by Storr, 1986), 25km S of Alice Springs, NT, collected by A. Kerle, 5.xi.1985 (see Horner, 1999); paratypes: WAM |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A small slender Lerista with four fingers, four toes and immovable eyelid (a large transparent disc), distinguishable from L. separanda and L. xanthura by its coppery head, faintly spotted back and tail, and single preocular (rather than two). Further distinguishable from L. separanda by its yellow (rather than red) tail and five (rather than four) supraciliaries. Distinguishable from L. aericeps taeniata by lack of dark upper lateral stripe. Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data. However, these details, e.g. detailed descriptions (about about .16 pages) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us if you need any of this material. |
