Variation in dorsal and ventral coloration of preserved specimens is shown in Figure 5. Background dorsal coloration varies from cream (e.g., QCAZ 41488, 48584) to pale grayish brown (e.g., QCAZ 18271), grayish brown (e.g., QCAZ 27258), pinkish white (e.g., QCAZ 41575), pale brown (e.g., QCAZ 23148) or brown (e.g., QCAZ 26497). Irregular dorsal marks can be present in diverse patterns. A dark middorsal stripe extends from the tip of the snout to the mid-sacrum (e.g., QCAZ 26497) or to the vent (QCAZ 23144). In a few individuals, the middorsal line is absent (QCAZ 17123, 31040). In some individuals (e.g., QCAZ 41575) broad transversal bands are present on the dorsum; narrower brown transversal bars are present on the dorsal surfaces of the limbs (one or two on the upper arm and forearm and three to five on the thigh, shank, and foot). In some individuals, scattered minute brown dots may be present on dorsum (e.g., QCAZ 48584). The coloration of flanks and hidden surfaces of thighs vary from pale cream to creamy white, brown or gray, with dark brown vertical bars (4 to 12 on each flank and 6 to 12 on each thigh). The area with vertical bars extends from the groin to the axilla (e.g., QCAZ 41575) or to the mid flank (e.g., QCAZ 41576, 18271). In some individuals, similar transversal

can be present on the hidden surfaces of the shanks, ventral surfaces of the forelimbs, and dorsal surfaces of the feet (e.g., QCAZ 41575). The shape of the calcar is small and conical and shows little variation among individuals.

A narrow to wide brown stripe can be present on the outer edge of the hands, forearms, thighs, feet, and tarsal folds (e.g., QCAZ 48584, 41576, 41575, 26497). In some specimens, scattered minute pale brown blotches can be present on the lips (e.g., QCAZ 26497, 24866). Coloration of webbing and discs vary from yellowish white to brown or gray. Bones are white.</paragraph>
