| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A. longicauda differs from A. undulatus and A. grilli in lacking an antehumeral-transverse gular fold, in having in external ear opening conspicuously smaller, rather than larger, than the interparietal scale and a longer tail (mean tail/ total length 0.77 in males, 0.74 in females). It further flitters from A. undulatus in having less distinctively heterogeneous m illation: enlarged dorsal body scales grading into rather than abruptly distinct from lateral bod) scales, nape without enlarged. projecting scales, no dorsolateral row of large, keeled scales, and a larger maximum size (snout-vent length in males 79 mm, females 98 mm, versus males 70 mm, females 83 mm). It further differs from A. grilli in having multicarinate rather than smooth supradigital scales [from ETHERIDGE & WILLIAMS 1991]. Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 46 characters) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. |
