Diagnosis | Diagnosis: Grismer et al. 2019 consider Subdoluseps malayana sp. nov. to be a member of the genus Subduloseps in that it bears the suite of morphological characters that define the genus (Freitas et al. 2019). Subdoluseps malayana sp. nov. can be differentiated from all other Subdoluseps by having the combination of an adult SVL of 62.2–65.4 mm; six supralabials with the fourth being elongate; six infralabials; four supraoculars; frontoparietal contacting three supraoculars on each side; no postinterparietal; eight or nine superciliaries; 7–9 suboculars not separated by supralabials; prefrontals not in contact; one primary, two secondary, and three tertiary temporals, respectively; five or six nuchal scales; no deep postnasal groove; scaly lower eyelid lacking a window; two loreals; 29 or 30 transverse midbody scale rows bearing 3–5 keels; 57–64 paravertebral scale rows; 58–62 ventral scale rows; 19–21 caudal scale rows at the tenth subcaudal scale; seven or eight precloacal scales; smooth to weakly keeled subdigital finger lamellae; keeled to strongly keeled subdigital toe lamellae; 13–15 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; and a bright yellow gular region, throat, and venter in adults. These characters are scored across S. herberti and S. samajaya in Table 4 (in Grismer et al. 2019). Additional details (1591 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors.
