Diagnosis | Diagnosis. A middle-sized and somewhat melanistic species of the L. signifer group, differing from L. signifer by its larger and less numerous scales and the presence of preanal pores in some females. It differs from L. signifer in the following features: 1) 54-67 scales around midbody instead of 66-82; 2) 48-65 dorsal scales instead of 65-87 between occiput and level of front borders of thighs; 3) 67-78 ventral scales instead of 74-92 between postmentals and vent; 4) minimum width of frontal region 18-29% oflength of 5 dorsal scales instead of 25-49%; 5) length of 5 dorsal scales 67-104% of ear-eye distance instead of 29-71%. It can be distinguished from L. robustus by the following differences, apart from color pattern: 1) 66-77 lateral scales between legs instead of 49-70; 2) 17-22 dorsal scales instead of 12-19 in head length. It differs from L. polystictus by the larger number of ventral scales between postmentals and vent (67-78 instead of 62-71) and several morphometric characters mostly noticeable only on scatter-diagrams (Figs. 8, 9).
