(1) Phyllodactylus trachyrhinus. 
Snout short, broadly rounded, covered with large subconical tubercles 
adherent to the skull; forehead convex; ear-opening small, round, its 
distance from the eye equal to the length of the snout. Limbs rather short ; 
digits short, depressed, with well-developed distal expansions, and a series 
of transversely enlarged lamellar scales on the lower surface. Scales on the 
head much larger than on the body, gradually decreasing in size on the 
occiput ; rostral completely divided into two shields, which are not larger 
than the adjacent labials; nostril between the first labial and two small 
nasals ; 8 to 10 upper and 9 lower labials ; symphysial small, trapezoid, not 
larger than the adjacent labials; a series of small shields bordering the 
symphysial and the anterior lower labials. Body covered, above and below, 
with uniform, flat, smooth, juxtaposed granules, smallest on the sides. Tail 
thick, cylindrical, prehensile, covered with uniform flat granules arranged in 
rings. Pale brownish above, with blackish marblings ; a black streak on each 
side of the head, passing through the eye ; white beneath.

Dimellus, 3500-4500 feet). 
(2) Hemidactylus granti. 
Closely allied to H. mabuwia, Mor. Head regularly oviform; snout 
longer than the distance between the eye and the ear-opening, once and a 
half the diameter of the orbit ; forehead concave ; ear-opening large, oval, 
oblique. Body and limbs moderate ; digits moderately dilated, free ; 7 or 8 
lamelle under the thumb, 8 or 9 under the fourth finger, 6 or 7 under the 
hallux, 9 to 11 under the fourth toe. Head covered with uniform granules, 
which are much larger on the snout than on the occiput; rostral sub- 
quadrangular, not twice as broad as deep, with median cleft above ; nostril 
pierced between the rostral, the first upper labial and three small scales ; 8 
to 10 upper, and 7 to 9 lower labials; symphysial large, triangular or 
pentagonal, twice as long as the adjacent labials ; four chin-shields, median 
pair largest and in contact with the symphysial. Back covered with very 
small granules, intermixed with numerous small, round, feebly keeled or sub- 
conical tubercles disposed irregularly ; ventral scales small, cycloid, smooth, 
feebly imbricate. Male with an angular series of 8 to 12 preanal pores. 
Tail feebly depressed, tapering to a fine point, covered with granular scales 
intermixed with enlarged pointed tubercles, forming regular transverse 
series; a series of transversely enlarged plates inferiorly. Greyish or 
brownish above with dark irregular marblings, or dark black-edged wavy 
cross-bars, four in number, on the nape and back ; a dark streak on each side 
of the head, passing through the eye; tail with regular dark cross-bars ; 
lower parts whitish.
