| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: (Tab. 1). (1) A Polychrus with a maximum known snout-vent-length (SVL) of 144 mm; (2) dorsal and gular crests absent; (3) 131 to 186 scales around midbody; (4) 198 to 215 scales in middorsal row from behind the occipital scales to the level of the posterior edge of the thigh; (5) femoral pores 13 to 15 on one side; (6) lamellae on finger IV 33–36; (7) lamellae on toe IV 42–48; (8) tail 2.13–2.33 times SVL; (9) dorsal and ventral scales small and smooth (10) a prominent sexual dichro- matism present. Polychrus jacquelinae sp. n. differs from other species of Polychrus by having more than 130 scales around midbody and more than 198 scales in middorsal row from behind the occipital scales to the level of the posterior edge of the thigh (P. acutirostris has fewer than 73 and 126 scales; P. femoralis fewer than 100 and 156; P. gutturosus fewer than 81 and 105; P. liogaster fewer than 95 and 125; P. marmoratus fewer than 90 and 118; and P. peruvianus fewer than 74 and 70 (paravertebrals), respectively). Furthermore, the new species is easily distinguished from P. acutirostris and P. femoralis by the absence of keeled ventral scales; from P. gutturosus by the absence of multicarinate ventral scales and by the presence of very small gular scales; from P. liogaster and P. marmoratus by the presence of a sexual dimorphism in colouration (absent in the two latter species); and from P. peruvianus by the absence of vertebral and gular crests [from KOCH et al. 2011]. |
