I cannot verify this species with certainty, so I give a few notes of it. 



Scales of the back moderate, smooth, irregular and certainly not " equal" as 

 described by Gray. (Brit. Mus. Cat. Lizards, page 234.) Scales of throat 

 granular : thos^e of belly and tail sharply keeled. Tympanum naked, smaller 

 than the eye. Scales of gular pouch smaller and less keeled than those on 

 the side lappets. Wings ornamented below with broad, rather maculate or 

 broken up, dark brown bands. Above, this band-like arrangement of colour 

 is not seen, but only a spotted ornamentation. Scales of head unequal, 

 keeled. Some tubercular scales about the nape, but no orbital spines or 

 tubercles. A black spot between the orbits and a second on the nape. Nape 

 crested in the male.

Gunther says, the scales of the back are "slightly keeled," but I can detect 

 it in our specimen, in which respect it approaches D. cornutus, Gunther, but 

 differs from it in wanting a nuchal crest.
