| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: The new species is distinguished from all species of Luperosaurus by (1) its relatively small, slender body; (2) reduced interdigital webbing; (3) reduced cutaneous expan- sions bordering the limbs; (4) absence of ventrolateral body tubercles; (5) absence of spinose tubercles on edges of cutaneous expansions ordering the limbs; (6) the presence of only a few ventrolateral tubercles on the caudal margin of each tail whorl; (7) postrictal and nuchal tubercles absent; (8) precloacofemorals 17–19; (9) relatively low numbers of supra- labials and infralabials; and (10) low subdigital scansors counts. A summary of the distribution of diagnostic character states in Philippine Luperosaurus is presented in Table 1 of BROWN et al. 2011. |
| Comment | |
| Etymology | The specific epithet is taken from the Tagalog (Filipino) conjugation of the adjective maliit, meaning small or little. In colloquial usage, ang liit is used to denote or emphasize the small size of a particular object (the new species) in reference to another larger entity (L. cumingii) and translates to ‘‘the small one,’’ or ‘‘the little one.’’ |
