 supraorbital semicircles enlarged, produced forwards as frontal 

 series, separated by one or two rows of scales ; fourteen or filteen 

 enlarged, keeled supraocular scales, separated from the supraor- 

 bitals by one or two series of smaller scales ; occipital as large 

 as the ear-opening, separated from the supraorbitals by four 

 series of scales ; canthus rostralis angular, canthal scales four ; 

 loreal rows five ; six labials to below the centre of the eye ; ear- 

 opening moderately large, oval. Gular appendage moderately large; 

 gular scales smooth. Body not compressed ; no dorso-nuchal fold.
