The single male specimen of this lizard in our collections, C. M. No. 

 986, was captured by Steinbach in the Provincia del Sara, Bolivia. 



In all the scale characters it agrees perfectly with Boulenger's 

 description, but it is very different in its markings. The specimen is 

 very hard, making the determination of the sex a little uncertain. It 

 has two femoral pores, which would indicate it to be a female. But 

 the examination of anatomical characters makes me fairly certain that 

 it is a male. If the specimen is a female it contradicts Boulenger's 

 conclusion that the males and females of this species are distinguished 

 by the lateral ocelli. 



There are three black lines on the back from the occiput to the base 

 of the tail. The vertebral dark streak is separated from the lateral 

 ones by light olive lines of equal width. Outside the lateral dark 

 streak of each side is a white line running along the outer row of dorsal 

 scales which commences at the top of the ear and extends to the base 

 of the tail. The sides of the body are brown, darkest above, shading 

 below into the light color of the ventral surface, The color of the sides 

 extends upon the base of the tail in a narrow light brown lateral 

 stripe. The rest of the upper surface of the tail is a lighter brown. 

 On each side of the belly in the brown stripe is a row of small black 

 ocelli with white centers. There is a small ocellus on the side of the 

 neck in front of the shoulder; a small white spot on the upper surface 

 of the arm close to the body; a small white spot on the back of the 

 thigh close to the body; a narrow black line from the eye to the top
