The tyi)ieal and only specinien is preserved in ah-ohol. The color above 

 cverywliere is dark brown; below, very lij;lit brown. Tiie sides are 

 pak'r, perhaps pak' yeUow in life, and tlie color ascends at several 

 points, so as to form cross-bands of moderate width ami very well de 

 lined. One of these crosses at the occii»nt and one at the axilhr; be- 

 tween the latter and the ^'loin tliere are live, nearly e<|iiidistant. 

 There is an imperfect one at the sacriiiii, and there are seven on the 

 tail, one of them imi)ei'fect. Tln^ coloration of this species is «|uito 

 uni(pie in the j^enus in its rej;ularity. 



The locality of the only specimen, \o. llatJI, is unknown.

This species resembles the Chondrotus riiufulatHs, but dilfer.s from it in 

 the entirely dillereut form and proportions of the tail. This i)art is very 

 slender in the L. kptunis, with round or vertical oval section, without 

 keel above, and lacking very little of beiii};' as loiij;' as the head and 

 body together. The legs are of the same proitortions as in tlu^ C. cin- 

 qulatiiH', that is, when aitpressed they are s(!parated by a space equal 

 to the length of the posterior foot, showing their greatly superior length 

 to those of the C. microsto mus. The body is cylindrie. The head is
