128 THE HERPETOLOGY OF CUBA. 
The type-series of scaber has been compared with the types of picturatus 
from Jeremie, Haiti, and other recently taken examples also from Haiti. It 
may be separated by several characters. The Haitian species evidently grows 
much larger, in examples of similar size and the scales of the sides of the back 
are also larger and more strongly keeled. In pictwratus too the shoulders (in 
the female) usually, if not always, bear a conspicuous spectacle-marking and 
the ground-colour is reddish instead of bluish. In general appearance they 
are very different but as is so often the case with related species of Sphaero- 
dactylus it is very difficult to describe the various separating characters without 
over-emphasizing their individual importance. 
The species evidently occurs in the Sierra de Jatibonico where Brown 
found it in 1918 and in the Sierra de San Juan de los Perros to the north of the 
Sierra de Jatibonico but still in sight of the main range in the western part 
of the Province of Camaguey. The senior author found six specimens all in 
deep woods under stones or decaying vegetation. The sexual dichromatism 
in this species and picturatus does not seem to have been previously emphasized, 
but is very striking. This is the species which Gundlach (Erpet. Cubana, 1880, 
p. 61) called 8. fantasticus and which he said he found only at La Fermina near 
Bemba, now Jovellanos in the Province of Matanzas. For evidence that fan- 
iasticus is confined to the island of Guadeloupe see Barbour, (Proc. Biol. soc. 
Wash., 1915, 28, p. 72).
