Habit stout *, body not depressed. No very great differences in the proportions 

 between the sexes, these differences sometimes very slight f . Head short and convex, 



* In spite of its name, the least agile species of the genus. 



t The difficulty of deciding on the sex of certain adult specimens from external characters is increased 

 h\ the fact that females occasionally assume the bright green coloration of males.
