and the sympatric species, a combination of several scalation and coloration features will enable to identify the vast majority of specimens. In ambiguous cases, the elongate and pointed shape of the snout and the structure of the dorsal scales are often useful, although occasional individuals remain impossible to identify safely. It should be stressed than other characters proposed by earlier authors (number of supralabials in contact with the subocular, length of hindlegs) proved to be useless.
