 bases of the caudal lobes; no caudal spot; caudal, except the middle of the base of 

 the lobes, dusky; base and margin of anal dotted, the middle hyaline; sides of head 

 and body profusely dotted, the dots on the flanks and back margining the scales, 

 the margin consisting of a single row of chromatophores on the flank, of several 

 rows on the back; dots over the anal muscles following the intermuscular septa.
