Head rather short ; snout obtuse. Head-shields rather rugose in 

 the adult. Kasals sw.oUeu ; frontonasal separated from the rostral ; 

 two prtefrontals, frequently a small azygos shield between ; frontal 

 grooved anteriorly ; two large supraoculars, often bordered entirely, 

 or nearly entirely, with granules ; four to six small scales or granules 

 on a line from the loreal to the anterior supraocular, the length of 

 which is much less than its distance from the loreal ; two or three 

 series of granules between the supraoculars and the supraciliaries ; 

 interparietal usually pentagonal, longer than the suture between the 

 frontoparietals, in contact with a trapezoid occipital ; temporal scales 

 granular, smooth or obtusely keeled ; anterior border of ear subden- 

 ticulated ; lower eyelid with a large transparent disk formed of two 

 scales ; subocular bordering the lip, between the fourth and fifth or 

 fifth and sixth (rarely sixth and seventh) upper labials ; usually the 

 two anterior pairs of chin-shields in contact. Collar straight, per- 

 fectly free, with 9 to 15 plates. Dorsal scales granular on the 

 nape, rhomboidal, feebly imbricate, distinctly keeled from between 

 the shoulders, gradually increasing in size towards the tail; 55 to 

 60 scales across the middle of the body. Ventral plates not, or 

 scarcely, broader than long, in 12 or 14 straight and 33 to 

 36 angular transverse series. Pra^anals subequal, irregular. The 

 adpressed hind limb reaches the ear, or a little beyond, in the 

 male, the shoulder or the collar in the female ; the length of 

 the foot equals the distance between the arm and the centre of 

 the eye or the anterior border of the orbit ; a series of very large 

 subtibial shields, and one or two of smaller ones ; scales on upper 

 surface of tibia imbricate and strongly keeled, not, or but slightly, 

 larger than the posterior dorsals ; scales on upper surface of 

 arm larger than gulars, rhomboidal, strongly imbricate, obtusely 

 keeled. 12 to 16 femoral pores. Tail about twice as long as head 

 and body ; upper caudal sciilcs strongly keeled ; basal subcaudals 

 smooth or obtusely keeled. iJrownish above, usually with four lon- 

 gitudinal blackish bands, in each of which is enclosed a series of
