| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: UMMZ 217422, adult male; paratypes: UMMZ; other specimens: UADBA |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A small Zonosaurus (maximum SVL 85 mm), without pale dorsolateral stripes on the anterior or posterior part of the body; dorsal body skin fragile (scales readily shed in life when restrained); throat lacking dark longitudinal lines; 2-4 supralabials anterior to subocular; 1-2 supralabials posterior to subocular; and 14-20 femoral pores. The only other species of Zonosaurus with an adult SVL < 94 mm that lacks anterior light dorsolateral body lines are Z. rufipes and Z. subunicolor. Zonosaurus rufipes can be distinguished by the dark longitudinal lines on the throat, and the dorsal skin, which is not fragile. 'Zonosaurus subunicolor can be distinguished by the lower number of femoral pores (8-13), and the pale and dark dorsolateral lines in the pelvic region (Table 6).
