Stenocercus festae differs from other species of Stenocercus by the combination of the following charac- ters: smooth ventrals (slightly keeled in juveniles), imbri- cate scales on posterior surface of thigh, no enlarged supraoculars, posthumeral pocket Type 2 or 3, and postfemoral pocket Type 3. Description of neotype.—Head higher than wide (HH/HW = ); occipitals, parietals, interparietal, and postparietals small, keeled, and juxtaposed; 2 postrostrals; 4 internasals; 2 canthals, the most anterior in contact with the nasal; supraoculars keeled; enlarged supraoculars ab- sent; lateral temporals keeled and slightly imbricate; pari- etal eye visible; gulars smooth and imbricate, bearing an apical pit; mental in contact with first pair of infralabials and first pair of postmentals. Body wider than high (BH/BW - ); dorsal and lat- eral scales of body and neck strongly keeled, imbricate, and mucronate; vertebrals large, forming a prominent ser- rate vertebral crest (Fig. 8); ventrals smooth and imbricate, bearing an apical pit; preauricular fringe nearly inconspicu- ous; neck folds absent; dorsal scales of hand, proximal ventral scales of forelimbs, and ventral scales of hind limbs smooth and imbricate; rest of limb scales imbricate and keeled; 22 lamellae on Finger IV; 31 lamellae on Toe IV; dorsal caudals keeled, imbricate, and mucronate; ventral caudals smooth and imbricate proximally and keeled and imbricate distally; tail length 70% of total length; posthumeral and postfemoral pockets Type 3. Data on neotype: Male (Fig. 8); SVL = 81 mm; TL = 164 mm; HW = mm; HL = mm; HH = mm; BW = mm; BH = mm; SM = 62; VS = 49; PS = 65; SS = 6; IS = 4; GS = 29; SF = 22; ST = 31.
