Localities nnentioned in the text: 1 = the village of Ambatolahy; and 2 = the approximate western edge of the Ranomena River swamps. Inset: Location of Ranomafana National Park and the distributions of P. ambreensis (C) and P. sokosoko (A): for these species symbols represent multiple contiguous localities (see Raxworthy and Nussbaum, 1994, for specific localties). breensis the lateral stripe ends at the level of the vent (see Fig. 13; Raxworthy and Nussbaum, 1994; personal observations). Several other more subtle features po- tentially distinguish Pseudoxyrhopus oblec- tator and P. ambreensis. The color of the nape collar is described as pale brown in life in P. ambreensis (Raxworthy and Nuss- baum, 1994), whereas it was pale orange in the adult specimens of P. oblectator However, too few specimens are accom- panied by coloration data to be sure that this difference is consistent. Pseudoxyrho- pus oblectator also has a slightly larger eye than P. ambreensis ( times head depth versus times head depth), but these measurements are rough guides only because head measurements lack pre- cision. The difference is readily apparent by comparison of specimens side by side. Pseudoxyrhopus sokosoko lacks a pale nuchal collar, whereas a collar is present in P. oblectator Pseudoxyrhopus oblectator and P. sokosoko are ver\' similar in scale counts and the position of the pale lateral stripe. In the tynpe specimen of P sokosoko (fide Rax-worthy and Nussbaum, 1994) and in UMMZ 203660 the stripe is on scale rows 4+5 posteriorly but is not evident an- teriorly. In two other specim
