Lamellar formula (digit 1 to 5) for left manus: 9, 11, 15, 13, 10. Measurements (in mm, from preserved specimen): Snout- vent-length ; tail length ; head length ; max- imum head width ; maximum head height ; orbit di- ameter ; distance orbit - snouth ; distance orbit - ear ; ear diameter Colour in life: Head light brown with a broad dark brown band extending from the snout to just above the ear open- ing. A narrow yellow line extending axially from the ros- tral to the snout, up to the upper delimitation of the broad dark brown band. Palpebral fold yellow. Labials and un- derside of the head white. Dorsum light brown, with six broad, dark brown transverse bands. Colouration between those transverse bands yellowish brown. Ground colour of dorsal sides of limbs light brown. Hind limbs scattered with dark brown spots. Tail coloration light brown with ten dark brown transverse bands. Ventral side without any pattern, white. Derivatio nominis. This species is named after Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Bohme in honour to his contributions to her- petology during his 39 years as curator of herpetology at the Zoological Research Museum A. Koenig, Bonn and as the academic mentor of two of the authors of the pres- ent paper. Habitat. The holotype was found near a small village at the border of the Ath-Thumamah area (Kordges 1998). The paratype was found under a stone in a small canyon within the Buwayb-Escarpment which is a cretaceous coral reef consisting of sedimentary rock, mainly lime- and sandstone. DIS
