This form agrees with M. agilis in every respect save the presence 

 of only three supraoculars, the first and second having fused to a 

 single shield. I therefore do not feel justified in separating it 

 specifically.

This species is very closely allied to M. agilis, and distinguished 

 only in the following points : — Snout rather shorter still. Three 

 supraoculars, first very large ; three or four supraciliaries, first or 

 second very long. The first supraocular is not formed by fusion of 

 two shields, as in M. a//iUs, var. nigropunctata. Tail twice as long 

 as head and body. Dark brown above, sides black ; a black ver- 

 tebral line ; two greenish-white streaks on each side, the upper 

 commencing on the canthus rostralis, the lower on the upper lip ; 

 lower surfaces yellowish or greenish white. 



The number of scales round the body is 28 or 30.
