|
| |
Dasia leucosticta Mertens 1971 |

Lamprolepis leucosticta Inger & Brown 1980 |
Remarks:
This species was unintentionally overlooked by Greer (1970) in his redefinition of the genera
Apterygodon,
Dasia, and Lamprolepis. Although leucosticta shares a number of similarities with Lamprolepis, Mertens (1971) provisionally retained the species in
Dasia, however, it was later transferred to Lamprolepis (Inger & Brown 1980).
Distribution:
Indonesia
