snout pointed, distance from anterior border of eye to tip of snout equal 
to distance from posterior border of eye to ear opening; ear opening a small, 
narrow, almost vertical slit. Body long, somewhat depressed. Limbs 
rather Jong, thin. Scales of top of head, body, limbs, and tail small, uni- 
form flat granules, of varying shapes; among these on the back more or less 
regular longitudinal series of enlarged tubercular scales occur; these are also 
scattered over the upper surfaces of the limbs and are present on the proxi- 
mal half of the tail in twelve whorls, which are not complete below. Scales 
of all the lower surfaces larger than the contour scales of the upper surfaces, 
polygonal, subequal. Male with twenty-nine preanal pores in an angular 
series. Rostral scale one and one half times as broad as high; separated 
from the nostril by two enlarged superposed scales, the anterior nasals; 
the nostril lies behind these, and is surrounded elsewhere by small scales; 
it is not in contact with a supralabial. There are no other enlarged scales 
except the supralabials, ten in number, and a few enlarged granules on top 
of the nose. Mental large, an imperfect equilateral triangle. Tail long, 
slender, a little shorter than the distance from vent to tip of nose. 
Color very dark brown, almost black; limbs brown, belly white. A 
white band reaching around the back of the head from eye to eye; a white 
band across body near the fore limbs, one across the middle of the body and 
one across the body near the hind limbs. Three white rings around the 
tail, which is almost black above and below. The extreme tip of the tail 
is white.
