DistributionNE Ecuador (Napo, Pastaza, Orellana, Sucumbíos), N Peru (Loreto)

Type locality: “Marañon”; restricted to Valley of the Marañon River, Peru by Ruibal (1952) but later corrected and restricted to Santa Rosa de Otas, Department of Napo, Ecuador (upper Napo River; 0°58′41.2′′S, 77°27′4.4′′W, by RIBEIRO-JÚNIOR et al. 2020: 28.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: ANSP 11371, male 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Alopoglossus carinicaudatus is distinguished from all other species of Alopoglossus by the combination of the following characters: (1) scales on the sides of the neck non-granular, keeled, imbricate (at least medial and posterior ones phylloid), in 11 or 12 transverse rows; (2) three pairs of chin shields; (3) third pair of chin shields irregularly quadrangular (anterior and posterior margins almost parallel), with straight posterior margins, separated from gulars by a row of small scales; (4) absence of a pair of medial enlarged pregular scales; (5) scales on gular region subequal in shape and size: lateral, anterior, medial and posterior ones strongly keeled, pointed, phylloid; anteriormost transverse row feebly keeled; (6) ventral scales mucronate, imbricate, with bluntly pointed posterior margins, varying from strongly keeled on anterior and lateral surfaces to feebly keeled on medial and posterior surfaces; and (7) total number of femoral pores in males 22–26 (RIBEIRO-JÚNIOR et al. 2020: 28). 
CommentSynonymy: partly after RIBEIRO-JÚNIOR et al. 2020: 27. Hoogmoed 1973 resurrected Lacerta angulata, as Alopoglossus angulatus, and placed A. carinicaudatus in its synonymy.

Distribution: see maps in KÖHLER et al. 2012, RIBEIRO-JÚNIOR 2018: 33 (Fig. 5), RIBEIRO-JÚNIOR et al. 2020: 39 (Fig. 20).

Habitat: leaf litter of lowland tropical forest, often near water. 
EtymologyNamed after the keel-like shape of its tail (Latin “carina” = keel, especially of a ship, and Latin “cauda” = tail).
