Life photographs of representative individuals of Pedioplanis branchi sp. nov. highlighting color pattern variation within the species. (a.) Lateral and (b.) dorsal whole body images of an adult specimen from the Chuos Mountains (Chuosberg) (SK376.2014; not included in study), note the dense, dark speckling on the dorsum, and bold dark lateral markings. (c.) Dorsal and (d.) lateral whole body images of an adult specimen (SK402.2014; not included in study) from the northward extension of the Swakop River Canyon, note the more uniformly gray and red dorsum lacking speckling and fainter yellow spots along the flanks. Lateral (e.) head and (f.) whole body images of an adult specimen from the northward extension of the Swakop River Canyon; note the black, vertical bar beneath the lower eyelid, the bold, dark lateral markings on the body, and the distinct longitudinal row of yellow spots along the flanks.
