Snout obtuse, as long as the distance between the orbit and the pos- 

 terior border of the ear. Nostril cc[ually distant from the orbit and tlie 

 tip of the snout. Upper surface of head covered with very strongly

 oculars; temporals 1 + 2; seven upper labials, the third and fourth 

 entering the orbit; four inferior labials in contact with ant^erior chin-

 intemasals. Frontal longer than its distance from the tip of the snout, 

 as long as parietals. Scales in 17 rows. Ventrals slightly keeled on the
