Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other Lerista by its combination of enlarged 1st supraciliary, two loreals, usually two preoculars and a single presubocular and no broad black lateral band. 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 883 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |

Etymology | Named for Rodney Grant Hobson of the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, for his significant contribution to the understanding and conservation of Queensland’s reptile fauna. |
