Description:
Morphological characters of specimens from Son La Province agreed well with the description of Matsui (2013): Body elongate, SVL
52.5-59.1 mm
in males (mean ± SD 55.6 ± 2.2, n = 7) and
54.7-67.5 mm
in females (mean ± SD 61.0 ± 5.6, n = 5) (Table 1).
Head wider than long (HL
21.8-25.5 mm
, HW 22.7- 27.0 mm, HL/SVL 40.0-45.0% HW/SVL 42.0-46.0% in males; HL
23.3-26.7 mm
, HW
23.7-27.5 mm
, HL/SVL 40.0-45.3%, HW/SVL 40.0-46.6% in females); snout rounded, barely projecting beyond upper jaw (SL 10.0- 11.0 mm in males and 10.0-
11.8 mm
in females), longer than horizontal diameter of eye (EL
7.2-7.9 mm
in males and 7.4-9.0 mm in females); canthus sharp, straight; loreal region oblique, moderately concave; nostril lateral, closer to eye than to tip of snout (NS
5.3-6.1 mm
, EN
4.4-4.9 mm
in males and NS
5.4-6.3 mm
, EN
4.5- 5.2 mm
in females); interorbital space flat, broader than upper eyelid and internarial distance (IUE
6.9-7.8 mm
, UEW
5.2-6.3 mm
, IN
4.9-5.3 mm
in males and IUE
7.4- 8.2 mm
, UEW
5.5-6.8 mm
, IN 5.0-
5.9 mm
in females); Table 1.
