Description
Scalation includes 21 (19 or 20) rows of dorsal scales at midbody, 147-152/145-159 ventral scales in males/females, 46-54/40-48 subcaudal scales in males/females, and 7-9 supralabial scales.[4]
Geographic range
Found in Tibet (Tibet Autonomous Region, China). The type locality given is "Xizang Province, Nielamou District, Quekesumou, altitude 3,200 metres (10,500 ft)". In their English translation of Huang's publication, David and Tong (1997) list the type locality as "Tibet", but give "Naylam, Chokesumo" in the summary.[2]
gollark: I suppose that means you can get away with ones which are very rarely lossy.
gollark: Losslessness will be tested by randomly generating a lot of inputs and compressing and decompressing them, probably.
gollark: But that sounds like a few cryoapioforms in many ways.
gollark: Well, I could make the challenge be to make your own compression algorithm, with the constraints that there must be some inputs which it makes shorter and it must always be lossless.
gollark: Oh, I ignore that for ethical reasons.
