Holotype: NMNZ R1862. 1982 Naultinus elegans poecilochlorus Meads. New Zealand Herpetology: 324. Diagnosis: Dorsal scalation of head and nape heterogeneous; scales conical, pointed. Comments: This species is restricted to a small area in south Nelson — north Canterbury centered around Lewis Pass from Rahu to Reefton (Robb 1980b) (Fig. 51). It is separated from the range of N. stellatus by a mountainous region. It is associated with shrubs in and around Nothofagus forests (Robb 1980b; Henle 1981). Naultinus poecilochloris has been found in Leptospermum scoparium, Discaria toumatou, Rubus spp. and Gahnia sp. (Robb 1980b). The species occurs above the winter snow line and apparently utilizes rocks and other ground cover as winter retreats (Robb 1980b). Max-.
