Distribution	Brazil (Mato Grosso) Type locality: Brazil: Mato Grosso: municipality of Vale de São Domingos, UHE Guaporé hydroelectric dam (approximate coordinates 15070S, 58570W).
Reproduction	oviparous (manual imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022)
Types	Holotype: MZUSP 97964, adult male. Collected by the rescue team during lake filling in 2002. Paratypes: Brazil: Mato Grosso: UHE Guaporé: MZUSP 97956– 97963, MZUSP 97965, UFMT 3076–3114, UFMT 3510–3511, UFMT 6277–6280, UFMT 7268; same data as the holotype.
Diagnosis	Diagnosis: Data from species in comparison are given in paren- theses. The new species differs from all other species of Stenocercus except S. caducus, S. dumerilii, S. prionotus, S. quinarius, S. sinesaccus, S. squarrosus and S. tricristatus by having strongly keeled and mucronate body scales, laterally oriented nostrils, and lacking a postfemoral mite pocket. Additional details (1596 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details.
Comment	The description was apparently published in lates 2015, although the final pdf says “2016”. Similar species: S. sinesaccus, with which it may have been confused before. Distribution: Map: see TEIXEIRA et al. 2016: 417.
Etymology	The specific epithet albolineatus is derived from the Latin words albus (=white) and linea (=line) and atus (=that bears), as all members of the new species present a whitish line on the anterior surface of the forelimbs, characteristic of this species.
