Remarks. –
Three juvenile (LSUHC 7798, 7859, 7998; SVL
51–57 mm
) and
one adult
female (LSUHC 7810; SVL
100 mm
) are largely in accord with
Taylor’s (1963)
diagnosis of Thai specimens, a specimen from Phnom Aural (LSUHC 7370) reported by
Grismer et al. (2007a)
, and a series from northern West
Malaysia
(LSUHC 6811, 6843, 7080, 7101, 7106, 7113–14, 7118–19, 7121–22, 7151, 7170–72) in having the supranasals slightly separated; a postnasal; prefrontals in contact; first loreal higher than second; no transparent disc in the lower eyelid; dorsals tricarinate; 30–32 longitudinal scale rows around midbody (
30–34 in
Taylor’s material); and flanks dark with ocelli.
All specimens were observed foraging in open areas except for LSUHC 7798, which was found beneath a log. This species is common in both disturbed and undisturbed environments and has been reported from the central Cardamoms by Daltry & Chenang (2000), Stuart & Emmett (2006), Long et al. (2001) and Daltry & Traeholt (2003), and from the northeastern Cardamoms by
Grismer et al. (2007a)
