gular; loreal region nearly vertical; snout pointed; nostril nearer 
tip of snout than eye; distance between nostrils greater than 
their distance from eye; eye large, prominent, its diameter equal 
to its distance from snout; tympanum large, distinct, very close 
to eye, its diameter about three-fourths of diameter of eye; 
interorbital space one and one-half times the width of a single 
eyelid; skin of back very thick, glandular, covered with small
