Identification. Lizards of the genus Gelanesaurus have a black spot surrounding the nostril. The tail is longer, 1.53–1.58 times the SVL, than its congener. It is also keeled. The loreal scale is large in this species, taking up most of the suture with the nasal scale. Sexual dichroma- tism is absent in this species.
Habitat. This species was found at night on vegetation often close to streams. It inhabits both primary and sec- ondary forest.
