 Back uniformly granular, with numerous flat scattered tubercles. 

 Thumb well developed. Colour silvery grey, with usually some 

 transverse zig-zag dark marblings. A dark band through the eye. 

 Femoral pores 10 to 16 on each thigh widely separated in the 

 pubic region. Upper labials 10*13. Lower 7'10. Size 5*5 inches. 

 Inhabits Ceylon, Southern and Central India, Western Bengal, 

 and the North-Western Provinces. 



This species can be at once discriminated from froenatus by its 

 larger thumb, and from Coctcei by its more numerous femoral 

 pores ; and from giganteus by its lesser number of labials. 

 * (Doubtless Cocteaui not Coctsei as suggested by Stoliczka.)
