Closely allied to T. tachydromoides. Differs in having 8 longitudinal series of 
dorsal plates, 27 to 29 transverse series of ventral plates, instead of 22 to 24, in males, 
and a single femoral pore.

Body not or but slightly depressed. Head feebly convex or even quite flat 
above, 1% to 1? times as long as broad, its depth equal to the distance between the 
anterior corner or the centre of the eye and the tympanum, its length 32 to 4! times 
in length to vent in males, 4 to 4} times in females ; snout pointed, with strong can- 
thus and nearly vertical loreal region, as long as the postocular part of the head. 
Pileus 2 to 2} times as long as broad. Neck narrower than the head. ‘The hind limb 
reaches the wrist, the elbow, or the axil in females, the axil or the shoulder in males ; 
foot I to 13 times as long as the head. ‘Tail 24 to 3} times as long as head and 
body. ‘ 
Nostril pierced between 3, rarely 4, shields.. Rostral not entering the nostril, 
often narrowly in contact with the frontonasal,’ which is as long as broad or slightly 
broader than long, as broad as or a little broader than the internarial space ; preefron- 
tals forming a median suture; frontal as long as its distance from the end of the 
snout or a little shorter, 1} to 12 times as long as broad, usually narrower behind 
than in front ; parietals 4 to 13 times as long as broad ; interparietal 14 to 2 times 
| The male type specimen figured is represented with an intact tail, which is not the case, as may be seen from 
Ginther’s description. The tail has been imagined by the artist. Such restorations were often resorted to in those 
days, and have given rise to much confusion, as in the case of Chitva indica in the same work.
