Stenocercus varius differs from other species of Stenocercus by the combination of smooth ventrals, granu- lar scales on posterior surface of thigh, distinct vertebral crest, 3 caudal whorls per autotomic segment, caudal scales without projecting spines, posthumeral pocket Type 1, postfemoral pocket Type 1 or 2, and 74-88 scales around midbody.

Head (Fig. 20A and B) usually wider than high (HH/HW = , x = ± , n = 25); occipitals, parietals, interparietal, and postparietals small, smooth, juxtaposed; 3 postrostrals, wider than long; 4-5 internasals, usually 4 (96%); 2 canthals, most anterior one in contact with nasal; supraoculars smooth, juxtaposed; enlarged supraoculars absent; lateral temporals smooth, juxtaposed; parietal eye not visible in 92% of specimens; gulars small, imbricate, smooth (most anterior gulars granular); mental in contact with first pair of infralabials and first pair of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Torres-Carvajal, Omar.
