This adult male specimen (58.6 mm SVL,single series of 17 precloacal pores) and others found active at ca.2200 h on rocks and on ground on limestone hill. Locally abundantand was found in syntopy with Gehyra mutilata (IRSNB17031).

The species was known fromVenezuela to Maranhão State in Brazil. In the coastal areas of Brazil,it occurs from 19°S in Espírito Santo State to the AmbientalPreservation Area of Mamanguape in the Paraíba State and theSerra de Baturité, an isolated forested mountain range in the semiaridCaatingas in Ceará State.

In reference to KampungBandar, the presence of this species at Kuala Nerang, 68 km to theNNW; at Kampung Wang Perah, 84 km to the NW; and at PokokSena, 68 km to the WNW, extends the distribution of this speciesalong the Malaysia-Thailand border to the northwest. Its presenceat the Mengkuak Dam in Seberang Perai, 57.8 km to the SW extendsits distribution towards the west coast. These widely distributedlocalities suggest L. triploida ranges throughout most ofKedah, rather than being restricted to the border of Malaysia andThailand.Submitted by L.
