| Distribution | Papua New Guinea (Admirality Islands) Type locality: Lambussa, Neu-Guinea (also as Lambussu or Lambusso). |
| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Syntypes: ZMB 32205, ZMB 54474–500 (formerly ZMB 32205 part.), ZFMK 95270 |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Small, long–tailed species with homogeneous dorsal scalation and a discontinuous vertebral crest. Scales below the tympanum weakly enlarged; a row of enlarged submaxillaries present; anterior edge of the gular pouch without enlarged scales. H. schoedei is extremely similar to H. godeffroyi. H. schoedei differs from godeffroyi by a nearly homogeneous scalation of the anterior part of the gular pouch; sometimes several scales slightly separated (vs. heterogeneous, almost all scales widely separated) as well as a smaller SVL < 130 mm (vs. > 140 mm); macrolepis and longii by a lower number of scales between enlarged submaxillaries and infralabials 3 (vs. 4–5) and by smooth, rounded anterior scales on the gular pouch (vs. mainly keeled, acuminate); additionally from longii by a smaller SVL < 130 mm (vs. > 200 mm) and a higher number of light bands on the back, 5–10 (vs. 4) [if present]; binotatus by a discontinuous vertebral crest (vs. continuous); schultzewestrumi by significantly smaller plates on the sides of the head, largest plate clearly < Ø tympanum (vs. ≥ Ø tympanum); papuensis by the absence of a dark spot on either side of the neck (vs. present); auritus, geelvinkianus, modestus, nigrigularis and bruijnii by the presence of enlarged scales below the tympanum (vs. absent); boydii, spinipes and dilophus by a homogeneous dorsal scalation (vs. heterogeneous) and a longer tail TL/SVL > 3.0 (vs. < 2.3) (Manthey & Denzer 2006: 17). |
