Sulcate surface is to the left, asulcate to the right; proximal toward the bottom. The tips of the lobes are slightly uneverted, and would probably have much the same form as the hemipenis of S. latebrosus (Fig. 11). The broad, thick flounces at the base of the lobes on the sulcate surface are visible (compare S. latebrosus, Fig. 11), as are the calyces covering the lobes. dorsally and dirty whitish ventrally, with bold black markings dorsally and ventrally. Scale Counts and Qualitative Charac- ters (Table 1). The scale counts are mod- erately high, indicating the smaller scales of this species compared, for example, with Stenocercus latebrosus. Hemipenis (Fig. 18). An everted hemi- penis of Stenocercus stigmosus from the type locality was examined (MUSM-JEC 12924). The organ is about one-third bi- lobed. The sulcus spermaticus divides at the separation of the lobes. Each branch passes a short distance along the crotch side of the lobe (centripetally), then passes to the outer side of the lobe and appears to end just short of the tip of the lobe. The lobes are broad at the base and taper to points. The tips of the lobes of this spec- imen are slightly uneverted and would probably have a form similar to that of S. latebrosus (Fig. 11) if completely everted. The base of each lobe on the
