Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other Lerista by the complete absence of a forelimb, hindlimb with a single clawed digit, interparietal distinct from the frontoparietals, prefrontals absent, usually only 2 supraciliaries and anterior chin shields in broad contact. 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 1430 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
Comment | Habitat: Specimens were found in loose soil under logs and other debris. Limb morphology: 0 digits, 1 toe |
Etymology | The species epithet is formed from a combination of the Greek word para, meaning beside or near, and the species L. ameles, referring to the close relationship between this species and Lerista ameles. |
