Diagnosis	Diagnosis: “Ähnlich L. guttata relativ kleinschuppig (relativ hohe Zahlenwerte hinsichtlich der Anzahl der Dorsal-, Ventral-, Tibia-, Schwanz- und Sohlenschuppen) und relativ kurzköpfig. In der Zeichnung der Rückenpartien L. r. reevesii ähnlich. Flankenzeichnung ähnlich L. belliana, jedoch mit starken Reduktionstendenzen (keine Kontrastzeichnung an den Halsseiten und in der Schulterpartie, helle und dunkle Flankenquerflecken entweder isoliert nebeneinander stehend oder auch stark verkürzt oder sogar ganz fehlend). Deutliche Tendenz zur Unterdrückung der Femoralporen. Poren, insbesondere bei den Männchen, manchmal nur noch durch punktfeine Grübchen in den Porenschuppen angedeutet.” (Peters 1971: 120). Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 785 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details.
Comment	While most authors consider peguensis as a valid species, Grismer et al. 2014 state that L. peguensis may represents the northern extension of L. belliana into Myanmar. Reference images: see Uetz et al. 2024 for high-resolution reference images for this species.
Etymology	Named after the type locality.
