KEY TO THE CALUMMA BOETTGERI COMPLEX
1a Small tubercle scales (diameter ≤ 0.5 mm) on extremities ( Fig. 9A View Figure 9 1 View Figure 1 ), small body size (<110 mm total length, ≤ 45 mm SVL) ..................................................................................................................................2
1b Large tubercle scales (diameter 0.5–0.9 mm) on extremities ( Fig. 9A View Figure 9 2 View Figure 2 ), large body size (generally> 110 mm total length,> 45 mm SVL) ..................................................................................................................3
2a Tubercle scales on extremities isolated from each other, supralabial scales serrated ( Fig. 9B View Figure 9 1 View Figure 1 ), no temporal crest....................................................................................................................... Calumma boettgeri
2b Tubercle scales on extremities bordering each other, supralabial scales plain ( Fig. 9B View Figure 9 2 View Figure 2 ), temporal crest present ................................................................................................................. Calumma uetzi sp. nov.
3a Occipital lobes not or only slightly separated (notch 0–0.8 mm; Fig. 9C View Figure 9 1 View Figure 1 ), no frontoparietal fenestra (closed skull roof)..........................................................................................................................................4
3b Occipital lobes clearly separated (notch> 0.5 mm; Fig. 9C View Figure 9 2 View Figure 2 ), frontoparietal fenestra present (can be felt through the skin in alcohol-preserved specimens) ......................................................................................5
4a Temporal crest of one or two tubercles present ( Fig. 9D View Figure 9 1 View Figure 1 ), zero to six dorsal cones in females, in life blue rostral appendage and green tubercles on extremities .............................................. Calumma linotum
4b Temporal crest absent ( Fig. 9D View Figure 9 2 View Figure 2 ), dorsal crest in females of nine to 14 cones, in life rostral appendage and extremities beige or light green........................................................................ Calumma juliae sp. nov.
5a Large frontoparietal fenestra ( Fig. 9E View Figure 9 1 View Figure 1 ), occipital lobes widely separated, dorsal and caudal crest absent, rostral appendage rounded............................................................................................. Calumma guibei
5b Small frontoparietal fenestra ( Fig. 9E View Figure 9 2 View Figure 2 ), occipital lobes slightly connected, dorsal crest of seven to 15 distinct cones in males, no caudal crest, rostral appendage rounded ...................... Calumma gehringi
5c Medium-sized frontoparietal fenestra, occipital lobes completely separated, dorsal crest of> 20 small conical scales, caudal crest present, rostral appendage pointed> 5.5 mm ( Fig. 9E View Figure 9 3 View Figure 3 )...... Calumma lefona sp. nov.
