could be distinguished from the young of Mabuia aiirata in 

 the field only by the brighter coloration. 



Remarks: This form is near the genera Iphisa ar.d 

 Tretioscinus. It differs from both of these genera in having 

 small and widely separated praefronials and a semidivided 

 nasal, from Tretioscincus also in having relatively larger 

 scales on the dorsal region of the neck and a larger frontal 

 and frontonasal, and from Iphisa in having subequal dorsal 

 scales on the body and ventral surface and a small number of 

 femoral pores. On the whole it seems to be nearest to 

 Tretioscincus and it bears a superficial resemblance to Tretios- 

 cincus hifasciatus Dum.
