Tail shorter than snout-vent length, dorsoventrally flattened in cross section. No distinct tail whorls recognisable. Digits strongly expanded at tips, first finger and first toe vestigial, comparative finger and toe length 1&lt;2&lt;5&lt;3&lt;4. Number of (transversely enlarged, left/right) subdigital lamellae under fourth toe 7/9. Rostral scale wider than tall and less wide than mental scale. Presence of distinct rostral cleft in dorsal process of rostral scale. One internasal scale. Nostril in contact with four scales, the first supralabial, the nasal and two small postnasals, but no contact with rostral. Pupil round. Dorsal and lateral scales of head smooth, nearly flat, becoming increasingly smaller on the posterior regions of the head. Dorsal and lateral scales of body have approximately unifom size and almost round shape. From the tail base on, enlarged almost rectangular smooth dorsal scales on the tail. All ventral and subcaudal scales smooth. The median row of subcaudal scales irregularly enlarged transversely. Mental scale largely triangular, bordered posteriorly by a pair of elongate, irregular hexagonal to pentagonal postmentals. Postmentals contact mental, first infralabial and three gulars. Gulars decrease gradually in size posteriorly. Number of supralabials (left/right) 7/ 6; number of infralabials (left/right) 6/6. The fifth supralabial on the left seems to be horizontally divided into two enlarged rectangular scales.

Ground colour of head, body, tail and dorsal parts of limbs dorsally and laterally brown-grey with irregular blackish stripes and dots. Several dark framed light brown spots dorsally on neck, body and limbs. A thin, dark medio-dorsal line extending from mid-body towards neck, where it divides into two thin dark lines extending in direction of snout tip converging between eye socket and nostril. A black band from nostril to anterior eye, continuing from posterior eye above ear opening, fading out as single thin dark line shortly behind neck. Another dark band between mouth corner and ear opening. A distinct dark lateral band starting from neck extending posteriorly until the tailbase, shortly behind the groin which marks the colour border between dorsal and ventral part of animal. Between axilla and groin and underneath the lateral band an irregular line of single spots, which continues on the tail where it fades out in posterior half.

Values at nodes are bootstrap values in percent from MP analyses; values below 70 % not shown. Asterisks denote Bayesian posterior probabilities values: (*), 90 94 %; *, 95 98 %; **, 99 100 %. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 denote the three major clades identified within the analysed samples of P. mutabilis." httpUri="https://zenodo.org/record/208128/files/figure.png" pageId="7" pageNumber="47">Fig. 4</figureCitation>
