Aphaniotis, Peters, Mon. Berl. Ac. 1864, p. 385, 



Body compressed, limbs very long and slender. Fiftli toe much 

 longer than first. All the scales keeled; the dorsals heterogeneous. 

 A dorsal crest. Probably a gular pouch in the male. No gular 

 fold. Ear concealed. No praeanal or femoral pores.

1. Aphaniotis fusca. 



Otocryptis (Aphaniotis) fusca, Peters, Mon. Berl. Ac. 1864, p. 385. 



Snout pointed, a little longer than the diameter of the orbit, with 

 sharp canthus rostralis ; upper head-scales sharply keeled, largest 

 on the supraorbital region ; seven or eight upper and eight lower 

 labials. The enlarged dorsal scales forming longitudinal series ; 

 lateral scales small and feebly keeled, intermixed with scattered 

 enlarged ones; ventral scales largest. Limbs above with large equal 

 keeled scales ; the hind limb stretched forwards reaches beyond the 

 tip of the snout, the heel reaches the posterior border of the head ; 

 fifth toe as long as thii-d. Tail roundish, slender, twice as long as 

 head and body, covered with equal strongly keeled scales. Brown

Peters's description of A. fusca being rather vague, I am not 

 quite satisfied as to the correctness of my identification. At any 

 rate, Peters's lizard must be verj- closely allied.
