To a casual glance extremely like a small Coptodactyla, but, as 

 indicated in the generic diagnosis, with very difFei'ent structural 

 characters. T am uncertain of the sex of the type, but regard it 

 as prt)bably a male on account of the transverse row of three 

 tuVjercles on its forehead ; these, however, are quite small, and 

 are feeble conical projections of tlie upper outline of an ill-defined, 

 obtuse, transverse carina.
