granules; all except a small part of the lower surface of the fore limb 

 is covered with large shields. There are no femoral pores on the type, 

 which is a female. The scales of the back and sides of the tail are 

 similar to the dorsals; there is a double row of large smooth scales in 

 the lower surface. 



The color is brown above, darker on the sides; the individual scales 

 are yellowish, speckled with fine brown dots; those of the middle and 

 sides of the back are tipped with black, a vertebral and two laterodorsal 

 stripes being faintly indicated. A narrow, rather faint, light line 

 commencing on the supraciliaries runs along the side of the back and 

 tail. A narrow white stripe commences at the inferior margin of the 

 orbit, passes through the ear, along the side of the body just above 

 the bases of the limbs, and along the side of the tail. This stripe is 

 interrupted by a narrow black bar above the fore limb, above which 

 is a small black ocellus with a white center, and by a longer break 

 above the hind limb. The lower surface of the fore limb is yellowish; 

 on the remainder of its surface the scales are dotted and margined 

 with dark brown; there is a small white spot on the upper side close 

 to the body, and another on the tip of the elbow. The general color 

 of the hind limb is similar; there is a small white, black-margined spot 

 on the upper surface close to the body; the lateral white streak of the 

 tail commences on the back of the thigh, and may join, or be narrowly 

 separated from, a small, white, black margined spot; on the middle 

 of the back of the thigh is an elongated white spot, broadly margined 

 with black. Fainter light spots are visible on the top and back of the 

 shank. The color of the lower surface is uniformly light, white on 

 the head and body, yellowish on the tail. The shields of the top and 

 sides of the head, except in the light stripes and along the lower edges 

 of the supralabials, are uniformly and finely dotted with brown.
