 between the eye and the ear-opening, once and a half the diameter 

 of the orbit ; forehead not concave ; ear-opening very small, oval. 

 Body and limbs moderate; the hind limb not reaching beyond 

 axilla. Digits slender but rather short, the basal part not dilated, 

 and with small plates inferiorly. Upper surfaces covered with small 

 strongly keeled tubercles, smallest on the hinder part of the head, 

 largest on the sides of the body, where they are intermixed with irre- 

 gularly scattered tubercles, differing only in size from the granules of 

 the back. Kostral quadrangular, nearly twice as broad as high, with 

 median cleft and emargination above; nostril pierced between 

 the rostral and three nasals ; six or seven upper and seven or eight 

 lower labials ; mental large, broadly triangular, its posterior angle 

 truncate ; small chin-shields passing gradually into the rather large, 

 flat, gular granules. Abdominal scales moderate, hexagonal, im- 

 bricate, smooth. Males with two or three prseanal, and on each side 

 three or four femoral pores. Tail cylindrical, tapering, covered above 

 with small keeled scales and large pointed keeled tubercles in six 

 longitudinal series, inferiorly with larger smooth scales, those of the 

 median series shghtly enlarged. Brown above, frequently with a 

 light vertebral band and a series of dark-brown marks on the back ; 

 digits very conspicuously dark-barred; lower surfaces whitish, 

 throat sometimes brown-marbled.
