Habitat and type locality of T. a. khuzistanen- sis, 5 km northwest of Haft- Gel on the road to Shush- tar, Khuzistan province, southwestern Iran. In the foreground the author is attempting to capture the holo- type from inside of its underground hole. sals relatively larger, grading into distinctly smaller scales of dorsolateral region which are only slightly keeled and mucronate; 94-95 scales round middle of body; scales of upper surface of limbs larger than median dorsals, distinctly keeled, slightly mucronate: lower surface of digits covered by bi-or tri carinate lamellae, 18-19 under the fourth toe; ventral scales almost as large as median dorsals, imbricate, very slightly keeled or smooth, 84-85 scales in a single row from gular fold to the anterior edge of anus; callose preanal scales in one row, slightly developed, consist- ing 10 scales; caudal scales larger than median dor- sals, strongly keeled, distinctly mucronate, 34-36 around base of tail just behind vent; tail weakly com- pressed at base, distinctly so towards the tip, its length of body length. Coloration and color pattern: upper surface of head and limbs uniformly yellowish-grey, ground color of dorsum yellowish-grey-cream with 5 large, broad, light-brown cross bars from nape to sacrum, inter- rupted by a series of light, large vertebral ocelli and. Figure 5. T. a. khuzistanensis, posterior ventral region of a male paratype (GNHM. Re. ex. 5426) with one row of callose preanal scales. two paravertebral rows of smaller ones, proximal upper caudal region with distinct dark-grey bars; ven- tral surfaces uniformly whitish. Measurements (mm): Total length = 206; Snout-vent length (SVL) = 86: Tail length (TL) = 120; Head length (HL) = 23; Head width (HW) = 19; Head depth (HD) = ; Length of forelimb = 45; Length of hindlimb = 62. Variation of the type series: all paratypes closely approximate
