In ventral view, lower jaw and margin of mouth on upper jaw much more rounded than snout, visibility of upper jaws gradually increasing from CM to snout. In lateral view upper lip slightly concave, its apex slightly behind TA.

Dorsally, those parts of annuli immediately anterior to and including most PAGs and SAGs raised. Single row of pale, enlarged granular glands posterior to narrow dark band of each AG, these glands generally more conspicuous posteriorly, but notably less visible from approximately first SAG back to TT, where final AGs are increasingly faint. PAGs incomplete middorsally (mostly widely) except for approximately first and last ten, incompleteness increasing gradually over anterior third of body; PAGs mostly complete or nearly so midventrally. Anteriormost SAG (on 99th PA) complete middorsally; SAGs complete midventrally only on 102nd and 103rd PA, last definitive SAG on 105th PA restricted to dorsum. Vent interrupts the 104th PAG narrowly and the 105th widely. 105th PA approximately three quarters length of 104th PA. Posterior to the 105th PAG a single, faint, dorsal, final AG, shorter than 105th PAG but longer than the last definitive SAG, further behind the 105th PAG than the distance between the last definitive secondary and either of the adjacent PAGs (the 104th and 105th) but not as far as the length of the adjacent PA (the 105th). We interpret the final AG as a PAG and thus consider there to be a small, last (the 106th) PA that lacks a SAG. Final AG approximately level with vent, distance from TT approximately 1.5 times length of 105th PA. Terminus bluntly rounded (more so than lower jaw) in ventral view, narrows from a little in front of vent. In lateral view terminus slightly upturned ventrally, strongly downturned dorsally, from in front of vent.</paragraph>

, 2013). We do not think this final AG is a SAG in this case because whereas it is shorter (transversely) than the preceding definitive PAG (the 105th) it is longer than the preceding definitive SAG (against a trend of increasingly shorter SAGs over the last few preceding PAs) and because the annulus it delimits is longer (longitudinally) than would be expected if it were a SAG. Irrespective of how it is interpreted, either as a final PA that lacks any SAG preceded by PA that have SAGs or as an isolated transverse groove on a terminal cap, the phenotypic feature represents an unusual condition in caecilians and it may be worthwhile paying more attention to the grooves in this region in caecilian taxonomy.
