34 DUNN — A NEW LIZARD FROM HAITI [^Vd^Vlf 



dered with white below, to insertion of fore Umb. Throat white with a few 

 darker flecks; belly white to region between hind legs, which is brown; tail 

 brown, black cross bands above. 



Dimensions. — Total length, 93; tip of snout to vent, 44; width of 

 head, 9; snout to ear, 11; fore limb, 17; hind limb, 30 mm. 



While quite like yer sonatas in general appearance, this species 

 appears distinct. In all other species of Leiocephalus, that I 

 have examined (personatus (type), melanochlorus (type), and 

 schreibersii, from Haiti; cuhensis, macropus (type), carinatus, 

 and raviceps (type), from Cuba), there is a long narrow scale 

 separating the prefrontals from the preoculars and from the 

 loreal. In a few specimens of personatus the posterior pre- 

 frontal narrowly reaches the preocular. In the present species 

 the narrow scale is absent. Also the large scale above the ear 

 is not evident in the species listed above. Furthermore, the 

 light borders to the dark lateral band are much better developed 

 in personatus, and the throat in that species has much more 

 black, either in large spots or as solid color.
