Head long, pointed, tapering regularly on all sides, two 

 and one-third times as long as broad, twice as long as the 

 tibia ; frontal ridges strong, converging anteriorly ; rostral 

 canthus sharp ; forehead concave. Upper head scales 

 faintly carinate ; scales of the supraorbital series enlarged, 

 separated anteriorly by one scale, posteriorly by two ; 

 eight or nine enlarged, keeled supraoculars, in contact 

 with the supraorbitals ; occipital as large as the ear-open-

 thai scales four ; loreal rows three ; seven or eight labials

 interorbital space, a little less than the orbital diameter. 

 The frontal ridges approach each other so closely between 

 the nostrils as to appear like a single ridge from this point 

 forward. Ear opening half as large as eye opening. Gu- 

 lar appendage moderate, covered with keeled scales. Body 

 slightly compressed ; dorso-nuchal fold very low. Scales 

 of back and flanks equal, ventrals a little larger, all keeled. 

 Adpressed the hind limb reaches the ear. Digital expan-
