<paragraph pageId="29" pageNumber="30">Variation in dorsal and ventral coloration of preserved specimens is shown in Figure 16. Background dorsal coloration varies from creamy white (e.g., QCAZ 44020) to reddish brown (e.g., QCAZ 28401), pale reddish brown (e.g., QCAZ 28004), pale pinkish white (e.g., QCAZ 44021, 43897), pinkish white (e.g., QCAZ 44531, 44651, 44184) or brown (e.g., QCAZ 43825). A dark middorsal line extends from the tip of the snout to the middle of dorsum (e.g., QCAZ 2156), but in some specimens is restricted to the snout (e.g., QCAZ 43825, 44651, 28004) or is absent (e.g., QCAZ 44531). There is variation in the number, size, and shape of the dorsal marks. Five to seven broad transversal bands on the dorsum (sometimes interconnected) and narrower brown transversal bars on the dorsal surfaces of the limbs (one or two each on upper arm and forearm and three to five each on thigh, shank and foot) may be present (e.g., QCAZ 28401). In some individuals, faint, narrow longitudinal dark lines may be present (e.g., QCAZ 43897). In a few specimens, the dorsum, dorsal surfaces of forearms, and shanks may present large black stains (e.g., QCAZ 44021) and/or few scattered brown dots (e.g., QCAZ 43897, 44020). The coloration of the flanks and hidden surfaces of thighs vary from pale cream to creamy white or gray, with dark brown blotches. There is variation in the distribution of blotches on flanks; the extent covered by the blotches ranges from groin to the mid-flank (e.g., QCAZ 28004) or to the axilla (e.g., QCAZ 55374). In some individuals, similar blotches can also be present on the hidden surfaces of the shanks, ventral surfaces of the forelimbs, and dorsal surfaces of the feet (e.g., QCAZ 43825). In few individuals, the dark blotches of the thighs and flanks are faint (e.g., QCAZ 43897).</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="29" pageNumber="30">Ventral surfaces of preserved specimens vary from creamy white (e.g., QCAZ 44020, 44184; Fig. 16) to yellowish white (e.g., QCAZ 28004). Some individuals have brown flecks on the gular region, chest, and lips (e.g., QCAZ 43825). A narrow to wide brown stripe is present in some individuals on the outer edge of the hands, forearms, thighs, tarsal folds and feet (e.g., QCAZ 28004, 28401, 44021). Coloration of webbing and disc varies from yellowish white to brown or gray. Vomerine odontophores are triangular (with arched base in some specimens). Coloration of bones is white.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="29" pageNumber="30">In the adult type series, the largest male has a SVL of 39.17 mm, and the largest female 55.31 mm; mean male SVL = 36 mm (n = 22; SD = 1.92), mean female SVL = 45.18 mm (n = 6; SD = 9.39). Females are significantly larger than males (t = -3.43, df = 4, P = 0.025). Inter-population variation in size and other morphometric variables are shown in Tables 1 and 2.</paragraph>

(based on photographs; Figs 4D and 8D). Dorsal surfaces vary from pale yellowish tan (e.g., QCAZ 43827) to yellowish cream (e.g., QCAZ 44636) with a middorsal dark brown line (e.g., QCAZ 43827); sometimes, ill-defined broad pale brown transversal bands (e.g., QCAZ 43827) or narrow pale brown longitudinal lines are present on the dorsum (e.g., QCAZ 44636); in some individuals, there are pale brown transversal bars on the dorsal surfaces of the limbs (e.g., QCAZ 44636); scattered minute black dots may be present on the dorsum (e.g., QCAZ 44636); flanks white, light blue or blue with dark brown blotches (e.g., QCAZ 43825, 43827,

Juveniles have similar coloration to adults, except that the blotches on the flanks and hidden surfaces of thighs are absent (e.g., QCAZ 43709-10, 43715, 43800).
