The new subspecies A. l. szczerbaki is segregated on the basis of studies of folidosis characters in 104 specimens of Alsophylax loricatus Str. from the western part of the area of distribution separated from the eastern one (37 specimens are treated) by a distance of about 600 km. The subspecies differs from the nominative species by presence of two additional nasal squamules in 94% of specimens (in A. loricatus Str. — one squamule in 100% of specimens); by the absence of the larger scales in the loreale area (in the eastern population there are 2-4 large loreale scales), etc.
