| dc.description | We report the first case of biofluorescence for Hemisus marmoratus and for Hemisotidae under exposure of UV light. Both sexes of a series of live individuals imported from Togo, West Africa, reflected UV light and their pattern became vibrant yellow on a dark background. Freshly or old preserved specimens do not show any fluorescence. | |
