| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Loreal usually fragmented into two scales; supranasal not in contact with loreal; two or three internasals; loreal contacts upper labials 2–3–4; vertebral rows 93–112; scales around mid-body 62–80; lamellae on fourth toe 30–43; usually three scales (2–4) between the first canthals, and five scales (4–6) between the second canthals; nasal does not usually contact first upper labial, but does contact the second and third; total femoral pores 17–28; multicarinate scales in paravertebral rows few or none; paravertebrals much larger than laterals; the number of supraocular rows usually five, rarely four or six; scales on anterior of snout finely striated with scattered tiny tubercles; scales on anterior surface of humerus keeled (Murphy et al. 2017). |
| Comment | Synonymy: previously a synonym of P. marmoratus but ignored by most authors; revalidated by Murphy et al. 2017, who, however, did not present any molecular data about its relationship with other species. |
| Etymology | Not given in original description but presumably named after John James Audubon (born Jean-Jacques Rabin; April 26, 1785 – January 27, 1851), an American self-trained artist, naturalist, and ornithologist. |
