 keeled, oval tubercles, disposed irregularly ; ventral scales 

 small, increasing in size from throat to groin. Greyish above,

A single male specimen from the Rustenburg District, 

 Transvaal, collected by Mr. W. Ayres. 



This species is nearly related to P. capensis. Smith, and 

 P. formosus, Smith, but easily distinguished by the much 

 smaller dorsal tubercles and the absence of large tubercles on 

 the occiput and temples.
