Head small ; snout a little longer than the diameter of the orbit ; 

 nostril lateral, directed outwards ; tympanum scaly. Upper head- 

 scales unequal, strongly keeled ; a compressed prominent scale on 

 the posterior part of the superciliary region ; 7 to 11 upper labials. 

 The male's gular appendage very large, always much longer than 

 the head, and frequently twice as long ; female also with a well- 

 developed but smaller gular sac. Male with a very small nuchal crest. 

 Dorsal scales but little larger than the ventrals, irregular, smooth 

 or very feebly keeled ; on each side of the back a series of large 

 trihedral keeled distant scales. The fore limb stretched forwards 

 reaches beyond the tip of the snout ; the adpressed hind limb 

 reaches a little beyond the elbow of the adpressed fore limb, or to 

 the axilla. Greyish above, with more or less distinct darker 

 markings ; a more or less distinct darker interorbital spot ; wing- 

 membranes above \\ith numerous small round black spots, which 

 are seldom confluent, beneath immaculate or with a few black 

 spots ; a blue spot on each side of the base of the gular appendage.
