In a synoptical view this species stands next to B.. tenuis, but 

 is perhaps more closely allied to H. elegantula, from which it 

 differs in the following points : — relative shortness of head and 

 neck, separation of prefrontals, absence of nuchals, greater length 

 of limbs and digits. 



MOCOA SPECTABILIS. 



Habit slender, elongate ; snout rather elongate, rounded. 

 Length anterior to fore limb more than two-thirds of the dis- 

 tance between the limbs. Nasal lateral, nostril subceatral ; 

 frontonasal broader than long, in contact with the rostral (the 

 suture being as broad as the frontal), and by a rather narrow 

 suture with the frontal ; frontal longer than bi*oad, as long as 

 the fronto- and interparietals together ; these three shields distinct, 

 subequal ; four supi-aoculars, the second largest, but rather 

 shorter than the third, tirst and second in contact with frontal ; 

 parietals forming a short suture behind the interparietal, followed 

 by a pair of nuchals ; seven supraciliaries ; fourth upper labial 

 largest and subocular ; palpebral disc occupying middle third of 

 the eyelid. Ear orifice rounded, shorter than the palpebral disc. 

 Scales in 22 rows, smooth, laterals smallest, median pair of 

 dorsals sometimes distinctly enlarged. The adpressed limbs 

 overlap or hardly meet ; digits rather short ; fourth toe with 20 

 to 24 more or less divided lamellse. Tail moderately thick, not 

 half as long again as head and body. Rich buffy or bronzy brown 

 above, uniform or with scattered black angular spots, which are
