| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: UMMZ 217174, adult female |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A small Zonosaurus (maximum SVL 75 mm) with fewer than 49 ventral scale rows between chin and cloaca, a pale broken or unbroken dorsolateral line between head and anterior insertion point of forelimbs, 22-23 lamellae under 4th toe, 11-15 femoral pores, throat without dark longitudinal lines, three supralabials typically anterior to subocular (four supralabials on one side of head occurred once in a series of 13 specimens), two supralabials posterior to subocular. All other species of Zonosaurus with a maximum adult SVL < 94 mm and a pale dorsolateral line have either more than 50 ventral scales (Z. aeneus), or fewer than 22 lamellae under the 4th toe (Z. brygooi and Z. anelanelany). Zonosaurus brygooi also may be distinguished by its greater number of femoral pores (15-20) and Z. anelanelany by its larger maximum adult SVL (93 mm).
