| Distribution | Hispaniola (S Haiti, SW Dominican Republic)
Type locality: Pic la Selle, Département du Sud-Est, Haiti.
|
| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: MCZ 37523. |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis (Audantia): Support for this genus is provided by 102 apomorphies including 13 morphological and 89 molecular ones. There are eight unequivocal morphological apomorphies: ratio of maximum female snout-to-vent length to maximum male snout-to-vent length increased (2: h to l); head increased in width (5: o to t), dorsal, ventral, supradigital and head scales smooth (40: 0 to 2); no postfrontal (62: a to z); posteroventral corner of jugal posterior to posterior edge of jugal (69: a to z); pterygoid teeth present (71: z to a); lateral shelf of quadrate present (75: a to z); and jaw wrinkling of cybotes type (90: 0 to 4). There are 49 unequivocal molecular apomorphies (see Appendix II, from Nicholson et al. 2012: 31).
