Subcaudals

Females have from 37 to 47 (mean, 42.0 +- 0.20; N = 79) subcaudals; males

have from 43 to 55 (mean, 48.4 +- 0.23; N = 109; Fig. 3). Of the 187

specimens examined, 13 (7.0%) have the last pair of subcaudals fused.

One specimen has left subcaudal 28 fused with both adjacent subcaudals

(also fused) on the right. While reading proof we found two omissions in

Fig. 3; there should be illustrated two males with 43 subcaudals and

three males with 44 subcaudals.
