| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A large species of Pelturagonia reaching at least 193 mm (80 mm SVL) in length, distinguished from all congeners by the following combination of characters: (1) supracilium lacking long spinose scale; (2) tubercular sublabials 4–7 anterior to enlarged subrictal tubercle; (3) enlarged middorsal scales widely spaced, not forming continuous dorsal crest; (4) nuchal crest consisting of 10– 12 triangular scales mostly in continuous series; (5) paravertebrals on neck and scales of pectoral gap pointing backward; (6) base of tail with dorsolateral crest of 7–10 enlarged scales; (7) area between caudal dorsolateral crests not flat, with enlarged projecting scales; (8) four rows of enlarged subcaudals near base of tail (poorly differentiated in females); (9) gulars sharply keeled and mucronate, 31–36; (10) scales around midbody 92–109; (11) dorsum green with contrasting pale, saffron tubercles and reddish brown to brick red bands (at least in females and juvenile males; adult male unknown); (12) gular region without black pigment or with black reticulation but lacking sharp black lines extending postero-medially from labials.

| Etymology | The new name anolophium is a neuter noun used in apposition to Pelturagonia and derived from the Greek prefix “ano-” meaning above and noun lophos meaning crest. The new name refers to the diagnostic projecting, enlarged scales positioned above the dorsolateral caudal crests in Pelturagonia anolophium. |
