Sphaerodactylus ciguapa sp. nov. showing (A) left laterodorsal scapular integument, (B) mid-trunk dorsal scales adjacent to the vertebral line, (C) left hand showing the typical Sphaerodactylus scalation pattern around the claw, and (D) dorsal scales of S. difficilis (USNM 328965), an extant species from Hispaniola with similar scalation to S. ciguapa. Scale bar = mm. scattered patches of skin. The skeleton preserves the posterior half of the left pterygoid, a portion of the left epipterygoid, a tiny fragment of the left parietal, left squamosal, left quadrate, and some portions of the brain case (including left prootic, left otooccipital, parabasisphenoid, and basioc- cipital), the posterior part of the right mandibular ramus, parts of the hyoid appa- ratus, all of the cervical, thoracolumbar, sacral, pygal, and some postpygal caudal vertebrae, the left arm and the proximal portion of the right humerus, both suprasca- pulas, scapulocoracoids, and clavicles, the complete sternum, the pelvis, left femur and tibia, and both feet. All elements, except the right pes, are articulated. Hob type Measurements (unless otherwise stated, measurements were made along the long axis of each element; for paired elements, left side measurement is provided): braincase from the tip of the basipterygoid process to the occipital condyle: mm; quadrate length from the cephalic condyle to the mandibular condyles: mm; squamosal: mm; jaw fragment: mm; cervical + thoracolumbar vertebrae: mm; sacrum length: mm; sacrum width: mm; tail.
