Remarks. — This species is closely related to Sphenomorphus 

 jagorii, but differs in the following points: The first f renal is 

 divided and the scales are superimposed; the second f renal is 

 proportionately much larger ; there are five instead of four large 

 supraoculars; the frontoparietals are slenderer and extend 

 farther forward; the coloration is also distinctive; there are 

 more rows of scales about the body. 



Unfortunately the collections in the Santo Tomas Museum are 

 unnumbered, and for the most part are without authentic local- 

 ities. It is highly probable that this species is from Luzon, 

 and perhaps the northern part of the island. Only a single 

 specimen, the type, is present in the collection. 



It has been named for the Manila scientist Rev. Florencio 

 Llanos, rector of San Juan de Letran College, professor in the 

 University of Santo Tomas, and director of Santo Tomas Museum, 

 who has been untiring in his courtesy and has rendered much 

 assistance in my study of the Santo Tomas collections.
