Dorsal and ventral views of Paragehyra tsaranoro sp. nov. holotype ZSM 11 / 2023 (ACZCV 765). A few diagnostic characters are visible. In the dorsal view: 12 distinct longitudinal rows of enlarged tubercles on body surface (BT), enlarged tubercles on the entire surface of hind limbs and on distal dorsal portions of forelimbs (character TDL), and enlarged tubercles organised in transversal rows that encircle dorsolateral tail surface (character TT). In the ventral view: smooth unpigmented or poorly pigmented scales on body surface (character VE), and smooth and pigmented subcaudal scales (character SC). Photographs by CP. Scale bar: 2 cm.
