Male specimens CORBIDI 18900-01 and CORBIDI 22197 lack rows of lateral scales. Specimen CORBIDI 15118 has five superciliaries on left side. Specimen CORBIDI 15118 has six supralabials on left side, and CORBIDI 19955 has eight. The number of infralabial scales is quite variable, 5/5 (CORBIDI 15116), 6/5 (CORBIDI 15118), 6/7 (CORBIDI 15115), 7/7 (CORBIDI 15117, 18900, 19955), and 7/8 (18901). Femoral pores are absent only in one juvenile specimen (CORBIDI 19955).</paragraph>

All adult males have a similar coloration, only CORBIDI 22197 has a light brown vertebral stripe. Adult females are similar in color to adult males. However, the vertebral stripe in females, when present, has a different color pattern. Subadult female specimen CORBIDI 15117 has a light brown vertebral stripe with scattered dark brown spots along margins. Female specimen CORBIDI 15118 (Fig.

Juvenile specimens CORBIDI 15115-16 are similar in color to adult males. However, the broad dark brown stripes on each side of the vertebral stripe are discontinuous. Ventrally, the brown flecks on head and the brown splotches on neck, chest and belly are more conspicuous. The tail is orange (CORBIDI 15115) or cream (CORBIDI 15116) ventrally.

The left hemipenis of the holotype is completely everted and fully expanded, 5 mm long (~four subcaudals); organ unilobed, capitate, with lobe detached from body and bordered by the branches of the sulcus spermaticus; sulcus spermaticus broad and shallow throughout the hemipenial body, originating at the base of the hemipenis, central in position, and extending in a straight line until it divides into two branches at the half-length of the organ; sulcal branches separated by fleshy fold. Hemipenial body roughly Y-shaped with 15 pairs of transversal flounces, separated by a longitudinal nude area on asulcate face, except for the first five proximal-most flounces; all flounces ornamented with calcified spicules (Fig.

All specimens were lying inside the water stored in the bromeliads; only CORBIDI 15120 was found dead on the ground, beginning to decompose, missing the right hind limb and a portion of the tail, and with the head partially eaten. Specimens from Copal, in Amazonas department, were found on the border of a small lagoon, under a rock (CORBIDI 18900) and among trash (CORBIDI 18901) in a patch of bunchgrass. Specimen CORBIDI 22197 from Fundo Alto Nieva, was found crossing a road in an area of dense montane forest. Specimen CORBIDI 19955, from Quebrada Gajmal, was collected when it fell from the stick roof of a house surrounded by cattle pasture and patches of secondary montane forest.
