Some variation in the intensity of colouration may be ontogenetic. On the largest specimens the medium brown regions are relatively narrow, and not or only weakly defined by dark brown edging, giving the overall impression of a somewhat faded pattern. On smaller specimens the transverse bands are more distinct and strongly defined. An indistinct trace of medium brown mottling or barring is also sometimes apparent on the dorsal and lateral surfaces of the hindlimbs. Venter medium to light brown, sometimes with very scattered darker brown maculations. Original tails with alternating medium-brown dorsal blotches and light-brown to creamish regions, border between colours often sharply defined by dark- brown edging. Regrown tails creamish or light brown with at most a few very indistinct light brownish streaks and patches. Iris in life deep chestnut brown with dark brown vermiculations (Figure 4).</paragraph>

The referred material include two specimens in the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH 82360, AMNH 103193) from separate localities in the Adelbert Ranges, Morobe Province. These specimens have plain venters and two-toned brown and light brown dorsal colouration. On this basis they do not conform with 'north 2' (the only other member of the
