| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A large (max. SVL ~ 60 mm), strongly patterned, member of the A. rhombifer group with a pale vertebral zone that is bordered by dark edging, including being broken by one to six dark, narrow, transverse lines from the nape to the hips. Pale vertebral pattern always broken into blotches on the lower back/hips. Obvious webbing present between third and fourth toes. Males have two to four, large, pointed postcloacal spurs (small and rounded in females) and four to nine precloacal pores with a moderate pore gap (of three to six scales). The second supralabial is often taller, and usually wider, than the first. There are usually six scales contacting the nostril margin.
