Details of structure visible include the "girdle" on the asulcate surface, the tine flounces at the base of the lobes on the sul- cate surface, and the sulcus spermaticus. pectoral regions whitish with irregular dark gray lines and spots; these are most distinct in the smallest individual, less so in the medium sized specimen, and least so in the largest. Ventral belly, tail, and limbs dull whitish with indistinct darker flecks in MUSM-JEC 10323, unmarked in the others. Hatchlings in Life (from the type local- ity; SVLs 28-33 mm). Pattern similar to females, but hatchlings tend to be grayish brown dorsally, rather than brown (top of head and neck medium brown, un- marked). Dorsolateral stripes whitish. Throat markings indistinct. Coloration in Preservative. Grayish brown to brown with dark brown or black markings. Bright colors (yellow and or- ange) are lost, but the bluish flecks on dor- sal neck scales of some males are mani- fested by light bluish-gray scales. Scale Counts and Qualitative Charac- ters (Table 1). Stenocercus latebrosus has relatively low scale counts and a relatively long tail and lacks any trace of posthu- meral or postfemoral mite pockets. Hemipenis (Fig. 11). Two everted hemi- penes of Stenocercus latebrosus were ex- amined, one from a topotype (Cachil) and the other from a paratype from above Sin- sicap (MUSM-JEC 13014 and MCZ 182242, respectively). Both everted organs were identical in essential details. The hemipenes of MCZ 154240, the only spec- imen from the Amazonian versant, are partially everted to the base of the lobes.
