This is a good genus, with distinct neuration. 
Koremaguia alticola, Feld. 
(Cnemidophorus alticola, Feld., Reis. Nov. pl. CXL, 59 ; 
Koremaguia aurantidactyla, Hamps., Ill. Het. Brit. Mus. 
VIII, 142, pl. 156, 20.) 
I think Felder’s figure undoubtedly represents this 
species, which varies in extent of dark suffusion; I have 
it from the Andaman Islands, and it is recorded from the 
Nilgiris and Himalaya.
