Upper left quadrant outlined with dotted line is the area shown in greater detail in Figure 2. figurations of neck folds and mite pockets vaiy considerably among species of Sten- ocercus and are useful in distinguishing species. The most important qualitative characteristics of these features used here- in are the following, which are discussed more fully by Cadle (1991): Neck and Body Folds and Crests. In contrast to many species of Stenocercus, neck folds are usually absent or weakly de- veloped in the "Opliryoessoides ; When present, they are better character- ized as crests rather than folds because they are usually indicated by strongly keeled rows of scales instead of actual folds of skin. The position of such crests corresponds to the position of folds seen in other species of Stenocercus, but only two are commonly seen in the "Ophryoes- soides group": an antehumeral crest, which.
