Casque feebly elevated, posterior border angular ; a feebly marked 

 parietal crest ; the distance between the commissure of the mouth 

 and the extremity of the snout a little less than the length of the 

 mouth ; lateral crest entirely surrounding the casque, feeble behind, 

 armed with large conical tubercles on the canthus rostralis and the 

 rostral appendage ; snout of male produced in a rather elongate 

 tubercular process, directed forwards, channelled above and below ; 

 upper head-scales very unequal in size, the largest on the snout ; a 

 large occipital dermal flap, not even emarginate medially, covered 

 with unequal-sized small convex tubercles. Body and limbs covered 

 with very small granules, intermixed with very feebly enlarged round 

 tubercles ; a series of long pointed spine-like tubercles forms a dorsal 

 crest, which is continued, though much less developed, on the tail ; 

 no gular nor ventral crest : throat finely granulate, with a few scat- 

 tered small conical tubercles. No tarsal process. Tail a little longer 

 than head and body. Upper lip white ; nape (under the dermal 

 flap) deep black.
