84 LACERTILIA. 
small on the head and disposed in rings on the tail. The anterior side of the legs is 
covered with small imbricate scales like those of the abdomen. The nasal shields form 
a broad suture together behind the rostral; seven upper labial shields; the middle 
lower labial large, rather broader than long, without mental shields behind; femoral 
pores none; preanal pores seven, arranged in a triangular patch. The length of the 
hind leg equals the distance of the snout from the shoulder, that of the fore limb equal 
to the distance of the shoulder from the anterior margin of the eye. 
Pale coloured, with brown markings above, forming a coarse irregular network on the 
back; the markings are broken up into spots on the head, and ring-shaped on the tail. 
The type-specimen is a male, and 53 inches long, of which the tail takes 23 inches.

Eublepharis fasciatus, Boul. Cat. Liz. 1. p. 234. 
Hab. Mexico, Ventanas (orrer). 
Skin finely granular, without larger tubercles, the lower parts and legs covered with 
very small imbricate scales. The nasal shields do not meet in the middle behind the 
rostral; seven upper labial shields; the middle lower labial large, rather broader than 
long, without mental shields behind; femoral and preanal pores absent (in the female). 
Snout rather long, longer than the distance of the ear-opening from the eye; the length 
of the hind leg equals the distance of the snout from the shoulder, that of the fore 
limb being equal to the distance of the shoulder from the anterior margin of the eye. 
Pale coloured, with broad yellowish cross-bands, which are broadly margined with 
chocolate-brown : the first is horseshoe-shaped, and runs from the angle of the mouth 
round the occiput to the other side; the next is placed between the shoulders, the two 
following across the back of the trunk, and the fifth across the loin; on the tail they 
form broad rings. 
The type-specimen is a female, and nearly four inches long, of which the tail takes 
less than one half.
