Snout very short and obtuse. Two superposed postnasals ; four 

 upper labials anterior to the subocular : a scries of granules between 

 the supraoculars and the supraciliaries ; occipital shorter than the 

 interparietal ; temple with irregular scales ; masseteric, tympanic, 

 and supratemporal shields distinct. Gular fold distinct ; collar with 

 serrated edge, composed of 7 to 9 plates. Dorsal scales rather 

 sharply pointed, scarcely larger than the laterals, the length of which 

 corresponds to that of the ventrals ; 20 to 23 scales across the 

 middle of the body, Ventrals in 6 longitudinal series, median and 

 outer smallest, and 22 to 24 transverse series. Two elongate plates 

 in front of the anal. The hind limb reaches the axilla or a little 

 beyond. Femoral pores 12 to 15. Tail about once and a half the 

 length of head and body. Olive-green above, sides with black and 

 white spots ; a yellowish streak along each side of the body. 



These markings are less distinct in var. clorice, Bedr., from Zante, 

 which in other respects also somewhat approaches the following
