All specimens of P. ibericus, P. atlanticus, and P. hespericus were measured by JDR, and specimens of P. punctatus were measured by MV." httpUri="https://zenodo.org/record/398692/files/figure.png" pageId="27" pageNumber="28">Fig. 6</figureCitation>

Adult male in excellent state of preservation. Some tissue removed ventrally from right thigh for molecular analysis. Measurements: SVL, 36.6; HW, 12.7; HL, 13.3; TD, 2.7; ED, 4.0; END, 4.3; NSD, 3.0; NND, 3.6; HAL, 10.6; FORL, 23.2; HIL, 61.6; FOL, 18.4; FOTL, 28.5; TIL, 18.4. Body relatively slender; head dorsally flattened, slightly longer than wide, wider than body; snout slightly pointed in dorsal view, rounded in lateral view; nostrils directed dorsolaterally, not protuberant, nearer to tip of snout than to eye; canthus rostralis indistinct, straight; loreal region very slightly concave, almost flat; eye moderately large, notably protuberant dorsally; interocular distance slightly smaller than horizontal eye diameter, larger than internarial and slightly smaller than eye-nostril distance; pupil vertical; tympanum externally visible, distinct, oval, wider vertically than horizontally, its horizontal diameter is 68% of maximum eye diameter, positioned near corner of mouth; supratympanic fold moderately distinct in its anterodorsal part running from posterior corner of eye to posterior corner of tympanum, indistinct in its posteroventral part running from posterior corner of tympanum to insertion of forelimb; tongue free posteriorly, of truncate shape, vomerine teeth distinct, in two patches between and at the same level as choanae; choanae moderately sized, ovoid. Premaxillary and maxillary teeth present. Arms slender, webbing almost absent, very small rudiments recognizable; comparative finger length I&lt;II&lt;IV&lt;III, fingers with dermal fringes (poorly recognizable on small fingers due to fixation). No enlarged finger disks. One large, rounded subarticular tubercle present proximally on each finger; three flattened metacarpal tubercles; inner and outer metacarpal tubercles of similar size and distinctly larger than central tubercle. Black nuptial pads on inner sides of first and second fingers, as one elongate patch on forearm, a second slightly smaller elongate patch on arm, and a small agglomeration on both sides of chest near axilla. Hindlimbs slender; tibiotarsal articulation reaches between eye and nostril when adpressed along body; inner metatarsal tubercle distinct but relatively small, outer metatarsal tubercle absent; proximal subarticular tubercles indistinct, remaining subarticular tubercles absent. Comparative toe length I&lt;II&lt;V&lt;III&lt;IV; third toe distinctly longer than fifth toe; toes with conspicuous dermal fringes to tip. Webbing between toes weakly expressed but clearly present and more than merely an extension of dermal fringes. Webbing formula difficult to determine due to absence of subarticular tubercles and presence of dermal fringes, but webbing almost complete between toes I and II, between second and third phalangeal joint of toe II between toes II and III. Skin on the dorsal surface granular, with distinct warts; skin of throat, chest, and venter smooth except granular on posteriormost part of belly; ventral surfaces of thighs and arms granular. Especially those warts that coincide with dark greeninsh spots on dorsum of slightly elongated shape and arranged in longitudinal rows. The anterodorsal part of the supratympanic fold is continued into the inguinal region as a distinct row of small tubercles and ridges, partly marked by greenish dots.

On the lateral side, a clear band is more or less visible, from the tympanum to the insertion of posterior limbs. The ventral area, which is smooth or slightly rough, has a light colour from pale green to yellow tones. Colour in life is similar, with light greenish spots on the back, instead of drab colors, and a design of two crossed bands clear without dots (

Differences are significant between P. hespericus sp. nov. and all other species, and between P. atlanticus sp. nov. and P. ibericus (ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc test; see Results)." httpUri="https://zenodo.org/record/398693/files/figure.png" pageId="30" pageNumber="31">Fig. 7</figureCitation>
