Takydromus dorsalis

[Yann]

Hello!!

I am happy to present you a new species of Takydromus I am working with!! Very similare to T. smaragdinus, it mainly differ by the absence of chromatic sexual dimorphism. Both male and female look the same. Also the dosale scales on the back are smaller and thiner compare to smaragdinus.
The species is endemic to Ishigaki-jima in Nansei Archipelago in Japan

cheers
