Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Carlia sukur is a member of the Carlia peronii species group (Zug 2010) and differs from other group members by a combination of traits. Adult female and male C. sukur average smaller (mean 40 mm, range 39–41 mm SVL [Table 1]) than C. spinauris, C. nigrauris, and C. peronii group members of the Alor, Banda, and Kisar populations. In scalation, C. peronii group members are similar; C. sukur differs only from the Banda population (45–48) with more dorsal scales [Dorsal] (49–53), from the Timor C. peronii (30–31) and spinauris (28–32) with more midbody scales [Midbody] (33), and from C. nigrauris (18–22) with fewer third finger lamellae [3FingLm] (18–19) (Zug & Kaiser 2014). |
Comment | Abundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). |
Etymology | The specific name sukur derives from this species’ homeland, Pulau Sukur. It is proposed as a noun in apposition. |
