have been reported. The lizard was found resting upon the thatched roof of 
a peasant’s house several miles north of Herradura.

Top of head with two ridges which first converge to enclose a shallow de- 
pressed area paved with five or six flat polygonal scales, then the ridges extend 
forward parallel and rather ill defined to near the tip of the snout; head-scales 
in general flat or slightly rugose; about five or six scales between the nostrils; 
supraocular semicircles in contact for at least half their extent; occipital about 
twice as large as ear opening, separated anteriorly from the semicircles by one 
large irregularly pentagonal scale; supraocular dise consisting of four trans- 
verse scales much longer than wide, separated from the semicircles by a double 
row of minute scales; canthus rostralis consisting of five or six strongly keeled 
scales diminishing in size anteriorly; loreal rows three; subocular semicircles 
composed of rather rough enlarged scales which are widely in contact with the 
supralabials; six or seven smooth supralabials, the sixth lying under the centre 
of the eye; temporals flat, polygonal, pavement-like, smallest in the centre 
but nowhere granular, no supratemporal line; two middorsal rows very slightly 
enlarged, not keeled; rest of back and sides covered with small flat scales, 
except for scattered protuberances covered with several scales, the apical one 
of which is strongly enlarged, conical and projecting; on the limbs and tail 
these projecting spine-like scales also occur abundantly; ventral scales small, 
flat and slightly imbricating; gular appendage small; the adpressed hind limb 
reaches the shoulder; digital expansions well developed; about twenty-four 
lamellae under phalanges II and III of the fourth toe; tail cylindrical, about 
as long as head and body; with an irregular dorsal series of enlarged imbricating 
scales, many scattered spine-like scales and no trace of verticils.
