Present specimens, 93-126 mm in snoutvent
length (SVL), differ from known species
of Leiolepis other than L. boehmei by having
blackish or brownish olive color on upper body
with two bold uninterrupted longitudinal stripes
of light color that fade solely in the neck
region. The ventral surface of the head is gray
with white bars and the dorsum of head is olive
with a small pale yellowish spot on the lower
eyelid. All these and other features exhibited by
these specimens were common to L. boehmei as
described by Darevsky and Kupriyanova
(1993). It is therefore obvious that they belong
to this species and thus represent substantial
northward range extention of the species,
because L. boehmei has not been recorded from
areas north of Songkhla Province (Fig. 1). The

Hua Sai District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province; ,
Muang District, Cha Na District, and Thepha District,

triploida ( ) in northern Malaysia is from Darevsky
and Kupriyanova (1993).
