TABLE 3. Select characters for the species of the genus Marisora included in this work. Abbreviations used are: Ch = chinshields; D + V = dorsals plus ventrals; FLL = forelimb length; FN = frontonasal; HLL = hind limb length; Infra = infralabials; Lam = lamellae; M = male; Max. = maximum; mm = millimeters; N = no; Num. = number; R = rostral; SAM = scales around midbody; SC = supraciliary; SL = supralabial; SVL = snout-vent length; and Y= yes. The toe lamellae counts and limb lengths are for one side only. The superscript + means that data are from this study and the superscript T means that some of that data (except ventrals, dorsals plus ventrals, and toe lamellae) are from Taylor (1956). The asterisk means that data are for both sexes combined. A row is also included for each species for both sexes combined (BSC) for the more variable characters.| Marisora Species | Sex, Num | Max.
