Loxopholis snethlageae (Ávila-Pires, 1995)

Distribution: Western Amazonia of Brazil, north Peru and southern Colombia (Ribeiro-Júnior & Amaral 2017). In Colombia it is known only from the Amazonas department (Fig. 4D).

Similar species: Loxopholis snethlageae differs from its congenerics by the presence of a large fourth pair of chin-shields (reduced in L. hexalepis and L. percarinatum); sharply keeled ventral scales (smooth or weakly keeled in L. caparensis, smooth in L. hexalepis); hexagonal to quadrangular or lanceolate dorsal scales, and third supraocular larger than the second (rhomboid dorsal scales and second supraocular subequal or largest than third in L. parietalis). For a more detailed description see Ávila-Pires (1995).
