Tail usually more than 90% of snout-vent distance in males, the tip quite pointed, its upper crest fairly homogeneous; autotomy and regeneration usually taking place only at the base. Quite large grey spots usually present on sides of throat; a strong dark collar present in both sexes; usually seven (occasionally six) dark areas, which may be divided, on back from neck to vent, one of them at the level of the forelegs and three or four between the pairs of limbs.
