Head small, body elongate. Nostril lateral, near the end 

 of the snout ; ear-opening moderately large, oval. Upper 

 head-scales small and smooth, smallest on the supraocular 

 region ; occipital enlarged, suboval, about as large as the 

 tympanum ; upper labials eight, very low. Gular scales 

 granular and keeled medially, larger and smooth anteriorly, 

 gradually larger, rhomboidal, imbricate, and strongly keeled 

 towards the gular fold, which is strong and straight. Median 

 dorsal scales larger, irregular, imbricate, strongly keeled, the 

 largest forming one or two indistinct longitudinal series on 

 each side of the vertebral line ; dorso-lateral scales very small, 

 granular, keeled, unequal, intermixed with irregularly scat- 

 tered enlarged scales. Ventral scales much larger than dorsals, 

 equal, rhomboidal, imbricate, strongly keeled, the keels form- 

 ing straight longitudinal series. The adpressed hind limb 

 reaches the axilla or the shoulder. Tail more than twice as 

 long as head and body, covered with equal keeled scales. 

 Olive-brown above, with a series of triangular dark brown 

 spots on each side of the vertebral line, forming a zigzag band ; 

 this is bordered externally with yellowish or reddish ; the 

 triangular spots may send forth narrow dark brown lines 

 obliquely directed posteriorly down the sides; lower surfaces 

 yellowish or coppery, the throat with a few blackish dots or 

 longitudinal lines ; tail above with a series of rhomboidal, 

 dark, light-edged spots.
