BARBOUR AND NOBLE: LIZARDS OF THE GENUS AMEIVA. 433 
brachials; on the posterior side near the elbow a small group of en- 
larged postbrachials; under side of thighs covered with six or seven 
series of hexagonal plates of which the outer series is somewhat 
larger than the others; seventeen and eighteen femoral pores; on the 
under side of the tibia three rows of plates, distally four rows, the third 
and fourth plate of the outer row considerably enlarged; upper side 
of the wrist with a regular series of transverse plates covering only the 
outer region; outer toe extending a little further than the inner; 
tail covered with straight scales with keels; about forty-five scales in 
the fifteenth ring from the base. 
Coloration: — Ground color of dorsal surface blue-gray; pattern 
of coloration like A. vitttpwnctata but the seven dorsal white lines 
running the length of the back broken up into a series of indistinct 
more or less confluent spots; on each side a rather indistinct black 
band sharply bordered by the broken white lines; ventral surface 
somewhat like A. erythrocephala in having a pale throat in distinct 
contrast to a dark chest and abdomen, but the throat is bluish instead 
of flesh-color, and the gular folds and chest are dark blue-gray suffused 
laterally by a brighter tone of blue; ventral surface washed posteriorly 
with straw-color. 
Variation: — Another specimen, a female (M. C. Z. 8631) differs 
from the male in having the dark lateral bands more distinct and the 
longitudinal series of spots more nearly fused into lines as in A. 
_ vittipunctata. A young specimen (M. C. Z. 8629) is similar to the 
adult male except that the under parts are uniform blue-gray. 
Remarks:— The description was made of an adult male that meas- 
ured one hundred and one millimeters from snout to vent. 
Habitat:— Confined to Haiti where it is still common.
