distance; limbs covered above with granules, below with round 

 imbricate scales like the ventrals; 14 smooth lamellae under the 

 fourth toe; tail with smooth, imbricating, rectangular scales above 

 and on the sides, and a median series of transversely enlarged plates 

 below. 



Dimensions : Head and body, 32.5 mm. ; tail (broken) about 28 mm. ; 

 width of head, 6 mm.; tip of snout to ear, 8.5 mm.; foreleg, 7.5 mm.; 

 hindleg, 11 mm. 



Color: Body fawn-color turning to wood brown on the head; 

 lighter below. A very faint reticulation or dotting of a slightly 

 paler hue over the back and head. Limbs with darker reticulations. 

 Upper and lower labials with dark central areas. Lower surfaces 

 immaculate. 



Variations. — The only other adult in the national collection from 

 Hispaniola, No. 72622, from Fonds-des-Negres, is very much like the 

 described specimen, except that the color pattern is even less distinct. 

 There are no dark centers to the labials, nor do the limbs have dark 

 reticulations. The remaining young are practically identical in 

 pattern with the excellent plate of "elegans" in Barbour's 

 Sphaerodactylus. 



More material is greatly needed to delimit the range and variation 

 of this species in Hispaniola. 



Specimens examined. — As listed in table 19.
