Oblique nasal suture passing centrally through oval nostril. Prefrontals paired and roughly pentagonal, with a short medial suture slightly longer than that between supranasals; laterally in contact with loreal, first supraocular and first supraciliary. Frontal plate divided in two subequal scales, the suture between both scales forming a straight line; anterior frontal pentagonal, laterally in contact with first and second supraoculars, distinctly larger than posterior frontal; posterior frontal pentagonal, laterally in contact with second and third supraoculars. Pair of pentagonal frontoparietals, longer than wide and with long medial suture; laterally in contact with third supraocular, and small circumorbital scales bordering posterior part of third supraocular. Interparietal pentagonal, higher than wide, slightly narrower than adjacent parietals, sutures with parietals straight; interparietal bordered at each side by two irregular parietals divided by oblique suture; outermost parietals slightly smaller than inner parietals; parietal series composed of five scales including interparietal.

Circumorbital semicircle formed by 12 scales at left side, 22 scales combining both sides, bordering posterior edge of third supraocular and separating it from frontoparietals by two thirds; third supraocular separated from parietals by two rows of circumorbital scales. Laterally, second and third supraocular separated from supraciliaries by a single row of small scales; 19 combining both sides. Supraciliaries seven (on one side), first highest, second longest, remaining ones shorter and subequal. Loreal very large, single, in contact with postnasal, frontonasal, prefrontal, first supraciliary, all three preoculars, first subocular, and second, third and fourth (narrowly) supralabials. Preoculars three, first and third very small and granular; second preocular larger, but distinctly smaller than suboculars. Suboculars three, all longer than wide and in contact with supralabials, first and third subocular almost equal in size, second subocular longest. A keel reaching from first through second subocular.

Distally caudals longer and narrower. Subcaudals rectangular, smaller than ventrals, wider than long, smooth, mostly juxtaposed. Forelimbs with row of very large, smooth, slightly imbricate, almost rectangular (distinctly wider than long) antebrachial scales on anterodorsal aspect of forearms and similar but smaller brachial scales on upper arms that extend almost to insertion of forelimbs. Antebrachials and brachials separated by smaller scales at elbow. Dorsoposterior, posterior, and ventral aspect of arms granular, slightly larger than dorsals, except for scales directly adjacent to brachials and antebrachials, which are slightly to moderately enlarged and irregular. Legs with large, smooth, imbricate scales on anterior and ventral aspects of thighs, and ventral aspect of shanks. Row of large, almost rectangular scales anteriorly on thigh, gradually becoming smaller and irregular toward pores. On ventral aspect of shanks, three rows of very large scales, anterior two more or less trapezoidal, posterior one rhomboidal, decreasing in size from anterior toward posterior row. Tibiotarsal spurs form a cluster of two rows, one of about four, and the other of about five sharply mucronate scales which are positioned along the postaxial edge of the distal end of the shank. Elsewhere on hindlimbs scales similar to dorsals. Subdigital lamellae transversely enlarged and single, moderately to distinctly tuberculate towards base. Lamellae of outer toe continuing to heel. On palms, lamellae of outer and inner fingers continuing to wrist only separated by few granules, tubercular and increasing in size towards it. 17 LFF; 32 LFT.

The specific epithet is an agglutination of the exclamation “no dam”. We chose this peculiar name to protest against the possible dam construction activities for four hydroelectricity projects along the Marañón river, between the Regions of Cajamarca and Amazonas. With this we are trying to call attention to the fact that the unique dry forest habitat of this and other endemic species, several of them have only recently been discovered (Koch
