Head larger than in D. volans ; snout as long as, or slightly longer 

 than, the diameter of the orbit ; nostril lateral, directed outwards ; 

 tympanum usually scaly. Upper head-scales very unequal, very 

 strongly keeled ; a longitudinal series of enlarged scales on the snout ; 

 eight to ten upper labials, the last twice or thrice as large as the 

 preceding. The male's gular appendage longer than the head. Male 

 with a very distinct nuchal crest. Dorsal scales rather regular, strongly 

 keeled, the largest twice as large as the ventrals ; on each side of the 

 posterior half of the trunk a more or less distinct continuous series 

 of strongly keeled scales, some of which are larger than the rest. 

 The fore limb stretched forwards extends beyond the tip of the snout ; 

 the adpressed hind limb reaches half way between the elbow of the 

 adpressed fore limb and the axil, or nearly to the latter. Upper 

 parts metallic, more or less distinctly spotted with blackish ; a black 

 interorbital spot ; wing-membranes above with small round black 

 spots, inferiorly immaculate except a few large black spots near the 

 outer margin ; throat and base of gular appendage dotted or 

 reticulated with blackish.
