Figure 8 is an illustration of an Oriente male of Figure 7. Male A. porcatus from Pinar del Rio. An example of a '' western'' porcatus. In contrast to the eastern and western patterns the Camaguey populations of porcatus in the center of the island have an over- all color of grey or light green or brown. The larger males are usually grey and some demonstrate no green color; however, females and some males do demonstrate a light green phase. Superimposed upon the grey color is a complicated pattern (Fig. 9) of dark and light reticulations. The body as well as the nape is covered with numerous white scales. The Camaguey.
