 long, rugose, the skin of the temple alone being free from the 

 cranial ossification ; posterior border of casque sinuous ; 

 snout very short ; canthus rostralis angular ; loreal region 

 concave ; nostrils near the end of the snout ; interorbital 

 space concave, twice as broad as the upper eyelid ; tympanum

 curved dark band, concavity forwards, on the interorbital 

 region and a semicircular dark spot on the scapulary ; a 

 blackish-brown band, sharply defined above, along each side,

 sending a subocular process to the edge of the mouth ; a 

 series of yellow spots on each side of the body, below the 

 dark lateral band ; groin with irregular yellow spots separated 

 by a blackish network ; limbs with dark brown cross bands,
