Aporoscelis JSenti, sp. n. 



Head moderately large, curved downwards and forwards 

 from the vertex to the labial margin ; cheeks of the male 

 much swollen, those of the female hardly perceptibly so ; 

 snout very short, moderately pointed; canthus rostralis absent ; 

 nostrils directed forwards and outwards ; ear a high vertical 

 slit, its anterior border with a dentate margin of four or more 

 strong triangular scales. The scales on the upper surface of 

 the head and on the cheeks are smooth, irregular in size, and 

 tessellated in arrangement, except on the occipital region, 

 where they are slightly imbricate, and a few tending to be 

 keeled ; a line of enlarged scales below the eye ; labials very 

 small. The scales on the upper surface of the body are rather 

 small, juxtaposed, faintly imbricate, and perfectly smooth ; on 

 the nape and on the sides they are smaller than on the back, 

 but on the sides they become enlarged as they approach 

 the ventrals ; ventrals more or less subquadrangular and 

 arranged in transverse lines, but less so on the chest ; the 

 scales on the throat are the smallest on the body, and as they 

 approach the chest become almost granular. On the upper 

 surfaces of the limbs the scales are enlarged, most so on the 

 hind limbs, and are smooth, but, on the tibial portion of the
