Figure 5. Right lateral view of the head of Hemibungarus calligaster, TNHC 62483, showing delineated primary and secondary temporal plates as interpreted in this paper and by Leviton (1964). Lower primary temporal (larger) was interpreted as a sixth raised labial by Slowinski et al. (2001). Supralabials and temporals are indicated by numerals.

Figure 2. Phylogram of the single optimal tree estimated by maximum likelihood analysis of the combined data set (mtDNA + c-mos). Support values for nodes (> 50%) are provided in grey rectangles adjacent to nodes: posterior probability (PP) based on MCMC analyses of the combined data (1st from top of rectangle, bold), bootstrap (BSS) values based on ML analysis of the combined data (2nd from top of rectangle, bold), PP based on MCMC analyses of the mtDNA data (3rd from top of rectangle, italics), and PP based on MCMC analysis of the c-mos data (bottom of rectangle, italics). Support less than 50% is indicated by a dashed line. See text for description and justification of nucleotide substitution models used for MCMC analyses.

Fig. 5 in Rediscovery of the rare Star Mountains Worm-eating Snake, Toxicocalamus ernstmayri O'Shea et al., 2015 (Serpentes: Elapidae: Hydrophiinae) with the description of its coloration in life

Fig. 5. Distinguishing Toxicocalamus from Micropechis. (A, A')Holotype of T. ernstmayri (MCZ R-145946) from Wangbin, Western Province, PNG. (B, B') Holotype of T. grandis (BMNH 1946.1.18.34) from Setakwa River, Papua Province, Indonesian New Guinea. (C, C') Yellow phase of Micropechis ikaheka (BMNH 1909.4.30.12) from the FakFak Peninsula, West Papua Province, Indonesian New Guinea. Color-coding of head scalation includes six supralabials (orange), a single anterior temporal (yellow), two posterior temporals (blue), and a temporolabial (red). The individual we report here clearly has the same head scute arrangement as T. ernstmayri.

Fig. 2. The first live individual of Toxicocalamus ernstmayri, observed and photographed in broad daylight at the Ok Tedi Mine, North Fly District, Western Province, Papua New Guinea. (A) The individual's serendipitous crossing of a 747 mm wide tire track allowed an approximation of its total length as near 850 mm. (B) The snake moves in a straight line across open ground. (C) Slower movement across a rubble pile allowed a more detailed examination of head and body scales (see Fig. 4). (D) The individual moving under the tracks of a stationary digger.

Fig. 1. Satellite map (derived from Google Earth) of the southern Star Mountains, North Fly District, Western Province, Papua New Guinea, with yellow dots on the larger map indicating two localities (Wangbin and Ok Tedi Mine), approximately 13 km apart, where Toxicocalamus ernstmayri has been recorded. The main town is Tabubil at the confluence of the Ok Tedi and Ok Mani, which flow into the Fly River. Scale = 5 km. The inset map illustrates the location of the larger map in relationship to the rest of New Guinea.

Fig. 4. Confirming the individual's identification as Toxicocalamus ernstmayri. (A) Close-up of the snake shown in Fig. 2C with insets B, C, and D indicated. (B, B') Head and neck in extreme close-up. Color coding of head scalation includes six supralabials (orange), one anterior temporal (yellow), and two posterior temporals (blue), but no temporolabial (see Fig. 5). The head scutes appear to comply with the colubrid-elapid nine dorsal scute arrangement (i.e., two internasals, two prefrontals, one frontal, two supraoculars, and two parietals; therefore lacking any head scute fusion, although this is difficult to discern from the magnified image with accuracy. (C, C') Based on the visible dorsal scales, the dorsal scale count on the anterior body is 15. The count is achieved by locating the vertebral scale row and counting down to the lowest dorsal scale row (eight scales), doubling the count, and subtracting one scale to account for the single vertebral scale row. (D, D') The dorsal scale count at midbody, performed as described for the previous panel, is also 15.

2 3 anterior ˱ posterior anterior ˱ posterior Fig. 3. The present coding system when there is an insertion of a scale row from the posterior to the anterior within a single cream band. a) When a large scale is followed by two small scales, the large scale is counted twice and the code for this example is "232232". b) When a new row is inserted between two rows, the inserted scale is judged as an independent row and the code for this example is "2221323".
