Description. The head is short, with a dark band between the orbits, the line 
from each orbit being directed backwards, so as to meet at an angle; the snout is 
obtuse, with an indistinct dark band extending from the nostrils to the eyes, below 
which is a white line along the margin of the upper lip, reaching to the shoulder; 
the lower jaw is almost white. The mouth is large; the tongue large, sub-circular, 
and slightly notched posteriorly. The palate is armed with a transverse row of 
teeth, between the posterior nares, largely interrupted in the middle. 
The nostrils are placed near the extremity of the snout; the eyes are prominent, 
the pupil black, the iris golden; the tympanum is moderate, bronzed, circular, and 
surrounded by an indistinct circle of dark brown.
