Description

FIGURE 2. Examples of variation in colour pattern characters in the Lerista microtis group: upper row—dorsal view; lower row—lateral view. Storr (1991a) proposed that the black upper lateral stripe of L. arenicola (left) is narrow with indistinct edges, whereas that of microtis (right) is wide and boldly edged, thereby distinguishing it from L. arenicola.
