TABLE 6 in On the sand and among the crowds: a new species of Woodworthia gecko (Reptilia Diplodactylidae) from Auckland, Aotearoa / New Zealand

TABLE 6. Meristic, mensural (mm), proportional value, and character data from the type series of W. korowai sp. nov. (n = 4). Data (mean ± standard deviation, range in parentheses below) for all examined W. korowai sp. nov. specimens (type series and two additional in-life examined specimens) and geographically close and genetically closely related congeners (W. maculata, n = 26 and W. “Mt Arthur”, n = 4). Abbreviations are listed in the Materials and methods. Key: ND = no data, na = not applicable. Individuals with regenerated tails were excluded from pooled (mean) data for TL, TW, and TH characters. Bold text indicates characters with statistical significance among the three taxa.
