 fold not well marked; gular scales larger than ventrals, feebly 

 keeled. Fifty-seven scales round the middle of the body. Dorsal 

 scales much larger than ventrals, rhomboidal, imbricate, keeled, the 

 keels converging obliquely towards the vertebral line ; ventral scales 

 feebly keeled. Nuchal and dorsal crests not continuous, reduced to 

 a mere serrated ridge. Limbs, and especially digits, rather short ; 

 the adpressed hind limb reaches the neck ; scales on the limbs much 

 smaller than those on the back. Tail round, not quite as long as 

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

 brown above, with three rows of darker, light-edged spots on the 

 back, the median row most distinct and formed of rhomboidal 

 spots ; limbs and tail with dark cross bars.
