260 SPHAERODACTYLUS. 
Description:— M. C. Z. 3,342, the largest of the three female cotypes of 
Garman’s picturatus. Snout rather long, head distinctly narrow; the eye a very 
little nearer the tip of snout than the ear; rostral large with a median groove; 
nostril between rostral, first supralabial, a large supranasal and one or two small 
scales; a small scale separates the supranasal of each side; the fifth supralabial, 
a very small one, below the centre of the eye; superciliary spine present but very 
small and feeble; head above and on sides covered with small granules which are 
not flat nor yet distinctly keeled, rather sharply swollen, slightly enlarged in 
snout; scales of sides of neck enlarged, passing on the shoulders into the very 
large tectiform, dorsals about six of which equal the distance of tip of snout from 
centre of eye; a prominent middorsal granular zone; mental larger than rostral, 
followed by many slightly enlarged scales; gular scales very small juxtaposed; 
seales of chest and belly larger, rounded, slightly imbricate, smooth; scales of 
limb, enlarged, overlapping, smooth or very feebly keeled; tail with scales small 
and irregular; enlarged inferiorly. 
Colour:— Male uniform metallic iron-gray, with no markings. Females 
conspicuously streaked on head with light longitudinal markings and decorated 
on the body with irregular dark cross-bars which include transverse series of 
white spots. The ground-colour is reddish often flecked with small spots of 
darker and lighter. 
Dimensions:— Adult male M. C. Z. 3,341. 
Tip of snout to vent 34 mm. 
Vent to tip of tail 39 mm. 
Greatest width of head 6.2 mm.

Dr. W. M. Mann brought a small series back from Diquini, taken while collecting 
ants.
