The single male specimen (MRSN R1153) differs slightly from the females in having a lower middorsal scale count (306 vs. 320–340), higher number of nuchal scale rows (26 vs. 24), fewer postoculars (2 vs. 3), narrower rostral (0.3 vs. 0.4), and broader parietals (3 vs. 2), some or all of which may be attributable to sexual dimorphism. Conversely, it is possible that the male represents a separate species.

ZFMK 59787 was collected during the day, active on the ground, in the leaf litter of disturbed primary rainforest, just a few hundred meters from the train station of Andasibe during dry weather. Further road-kills were observed or collected by Rainer Dolch (pers. comm.) on the road between the "Route Nationale" and the train station of Andasibe. Despite its obvious moderate abundance, we discovered only one single living specimen by opportunistic searching during many (day and night) surveys around Andasibe between
