| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Related to scincoides but distinguished from that species by the presence of an enlarged interparietal and the fact that the third pair of postmentals are separated from the lower labials by a small scale. This new species can be distinguished from the other species of Leposoma by having the ventrals in transverse and diagonal rows (Ruibal 1952).
