 , occiput 2. epMppiata.

Anterior border of ear not denticulated 4. senegalensis.

Very closely allied to T. annularis, from which it differs in the 

 absence of a denticulation in front of the ear. Even in coloration 

 the two forms are perfectly similar.

These specimens show that this species reaches the same size as 

 T. annularis, senegalensis, and gigas. In one of the specimens the 

 three chin-shields on each side are in contact with the infralabials. 

 The species is readily distinguishable from its nearest allies T. 

 annularis and senegalensis by the larger gular scales and the shape 

 of the tail, which is elliptical in section.
