All paratypes (Figs 7 9) are similar to the holotype regarding morphology and proportions (Tables 3, 4). Besides differences in SVL (Tables 3, 4), coloration variation in life is notable. Three males (MUSM 31203, UMMZ 245220 (Fig. 7A C),

) are similar to the holotype in coloration except for having much less salmon coloration. One male (MUSM 31976, Fig. 7D F) has the dorsum uniformly grayish brown without dark brown blotches. One male (MUSM 31984, Fig. 7G I) has the dorsum blackish brown with small yellow flecks. The single female (MSUM 31968, Fig. 8) is similar in coloration to the holotype except for only having few small flecks of salmon

The dorsal coloration of the juveniles (Fig. 9) is similar to the adults (dorsum pale grayish brown with dark brown blotches in MUSM 31969 [Fig. 9A, B], 31974, NMP6V 75585, blackish brown with small yellow flecks in NMP6V 75586, 75587 [Fig. 9D, E], uniformly blackish brown in MUSM 31985). The ventral coloration is different in juveniles. One juvenile (MSUM 31969, Fig. 9C) has the venter reddish brown, three juveniles (MUSM 31974, NMP6V 75585, 75587 (Fig. 9F)) have the venter reddish brown and tan mottled.
