Material examined. ECUADOR • 1 adult; Napo Prov- ince, WBS; 00.6715°S, 077.5986°W; 1530 m a.s.l.; 24 July 2012; QCAZ 5068 View Materials , GenBank accession numbers are 12S KU 902127 View Materials , 16 S KU 902208 View Materials , ND4 KU 902283 View Materials , and cmos KU 902048 View Materials GoogleMaps .

Identification. This species is a smooth-scaled, brown lizard with an extremely long tail and black-bordered ocelli along the flanks. The genera Gelenesarus and Potamites have ocelli on the flanks, but they have tu- bercles, strongly keeled scales, and much shorter tails. Anadia petersi also has 39–56 transverse dorsal scale rows, 31–33 scales around the middle of the body, 0–2 scales between the supraocular and supraciliary rows, and unpigmented lower eyelid scales. The suboculars are heterogeneous in size, with one protruding between su- pralabials 4 and 5.

Remarks. This specimen represents a range extension for the species of 110 km north-northeast from Nuevo Is- rael, Morona Santiago Province and is also a new record for the Napo Province ( Betancourt et al. 2018).
