The mean annual temperature is 24-26 °C in the former two life zones, 24-25 °C in the third and 18-24°C in the latter two. The mean annual precipitation is 125-250 mm in the first one, 500-1000 mm in the second one, 1000-2000 mm in the third and fourth ones, and 2000^000 mm in the lat- ter one. This species also occurs in northwestern Peru (Cadle, 1991). Stenocercus limitaris Cadle Stenocercus limitaris Cadle, 1998:261. Holotype: AMNH 22183 a male from Alamor, 04'02' S, 80'02' W, 1325 m, Frovincia Loja, Ecuador. Diagnosis.â(1) Maximum SVL in males 97 mm (Cadle, 1998); (2) maximum SVL in females 82 mm (Cadle, 1998); (3) vertebral scales 40-52; (4) scales around mid- body 39-54; (5) internasal scales 4-5; (6) gular scales 17- 23; (7) lamellae on Finger IV 17-23; (8) lamellae on Toe IV 24-32; (9) posthumeral pocket Type 3 or 4; (10) postfemoral pocket Type 4 or 5; (11) projecting angulate temporals ab- sent; (12) one row of enlarged supraoculars more than twice size of scales in adjacent rows; (13) occipital scales large, keeled or wrinkled, juxtaposed; (14) ventral scales mucr- onate, keeled, imbricate; (15) scales on posterior surfaces of thighs mucronate, keeled, imbricate; (16) antehumeral fold nearly inconspicuous; (17) tail strongly compressed laterally; (18) gular region in males not black; (19) dorsum brown in males and females. Stenocercus limitaris is distinguished from other spe- cies of Stenocercus by the combination of keeled ventrals, keeled, wrinkled, or multicarinate large occipital scales, one row of enlarged supraocu
