Apical tip characterised by two pairs of finely serrate ro- tulae of roughly semicircular shape, positioned towards the sulcal side and extending around lateral side of hemipenis. Scattered melanophores could be observed in the sulcus (Figure 2). Colouration and pattern. Vivid green with lateral yel- low bar following the row of enlarged scales running from neck to the base of tail. Head light blue except gular re- gion. Eyeballs bright blue to turquoise. Variation of the paratypes. Analysis of morphometric variation between male and female specimens of Trioceros n. sp. from Mt. Hanang resulted in males having signifi- cantly broader heads than females ( x = 13,09 mm vs. x = 12,59 mm; p = 0,030) and a tendency to increased ru- gosity in adult males. There is no apparent statistical dif- ference in snout-vent-length (SVL) comparing both sex-.
