Description of holotype

Adult male of 146 mm total length, SVL 44.9 mm, HL 10.4 mm, HW 7.4 mm, FLL 11.1 mm, HLL 13.1 mm, TFL 2.2 mm, and FTL 3.4 mm.

Description of paratypes

For morphometric data and remarks see Appendix 2.

Differential diagnosis

Subpecies with longer arms and fingers, legs and toes than the nominotypical subspecies, stronger so in the northern than in the southern part of the range. With diagnostic allelic profiles at the enzyme loci Adh, Pgm-1, Pep-C, and Pep-D, except at the southernmost part of its range. Characterized by cytochrome-b mtDNA haplotypes of its own group with diagnostic properties except at the southern range limit.

Derivatio nominis

The name of this newly recognized subspecies refers to the extremities that are longer than in the nominotypical subspecies (see Alexandrino et al. 2005).
