Color. Color in life is summarized in Table 3. The blue gray belly spotted with white is quite distinctive and differentiates this species immediately from any previously known. As indicated in Table 3, the sexes differ most prominently in the color of the dewlap; it is in fact uncertain whether any other sex-correlated color differences exist. Both sexes vary somewhat in color; the occurrence in both of uniform and patterned dorsa is especially conspicuous. It is possible, however, that the pat- tern when present is feebler in females than in males; it is true in the specimens as preserved. Whether it was true in life is not recorded. Whether also some peculiar color variants (the light middle of the belly in some males and the gray tongue of one female) imply a range of variation in one sex not found in the other is unknown. Ecology. The Darien localities from which A. cliocorum is known are in a broad expanse of relatively undisturbed tropical.
