| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A species of the genus Audantia (our Species 3 “australis”) that differs from all congeners by the combination of having (1) smooth ventral scales; (2) male dewlap dirty white with yellowish or orange suffusions, and with homogeneously distributed gorgetal scales, reduced in size in central portion of dewlap; (3) dark gular streaks present in males; (4) no patch of enlarged scales in nuchal region; (5) a double row of weakly enlarged, usually less than twice the size of adjacent scales, non-mucronate vertebral scales; (6) usually one sublabial scale in contact with infralabials; (7) 206–240 scales around midbody in males; and (8) keeled scales on dorsal surfaces of upper forelimb and anterior surface of thigh. Audantia australis differs from A. armouri, A. breslini, A. shrevei, and A. saxatilis by having dark gular streaks (usually absent); and by having one or two well-defined pale longitudinal lateral stripes, usually edged with orange or olive-green (vs. such stripes absent). |
