Distinguislied from G. scaber in the following characters : — 

 Body and limbs stouter, less elongate, the fore limb reaching hardly 

 the tip of the snout, and the hind limb the axilla or the shoulder. 

 Ear-opening larger, suboval or roundish. Dorsal tubercles much 

 smaller, not larger than the ear-opening, the largest much longer 

 than broad ; they form ten or twelve longitudinal series. Abdo- 

 minal scales smaller, in about thirty longitudinal series in the 

 middle of the belly. Four prseanal pores. Nine upper and seven 

 lower labials. Grey above, with angular transverse bands ; lower 

 surfaces whitish.

Allied to the preceding species. Body rather sliort, as in G. 

 kotschyi ; fore limb reaching as far as the tip of the snout or a 

 little beyond, hind limb to constriction of neck. Dorsal tubercles 

 in twelve or fourteen longitudinal series, intermediate in size 

 between those of G. scaber and G. kotscJiyi, in shape similar to 

 the former. Abdominal scales in about thirty longitudinal rows, 

 as in G. kotschyi. No regular series of infracaudal plates. Prse- 

 anal pores four to six. Ten or eleven upper and eight to ten lower
