Eremias striata, 
Head once and a half to once and three-fourths as long as broade 
Upper head-shields striated, but more coarsely than in L. brenneri, 
in this respect intermediate between the latter and L. smithii; 
frontonasal a little broader than long; anterior supraocular not 
bordered with granules, the two others bordered with granules 
except on their horizontal sutures ; interparietal small but much 
larger than the occipital, from which it is often separated by an 
additional small shield ; an elongate shield on the outer border of 
the parietal, variable in length and sometimes so short or broken 
up as to be indistinguishable; temporal scales granular, obtusely 
keeled ; subocular bordering the lip, between the fifth and sixth or 
sixth and seventh upper labials'; the three anterior pairs of chin- 
shields in contact*. Collar with 9 to 12 shields, usually 10 or 11. 
‘Dorsal scales rhomboidal, juxtaposed, keeled, 53 to 67 across the 
middle of the body. Eight longitudinal series of ventral plates, outer 
narrow ; 25 to 28 transverse series. A large median przeanal, some- 
times followed by another or a pair, the three forming a triangle. 
1 Between the fourth and fifth on one side in one of the specimens described 
by Peters. 
2 Hremias hochneli is founded on a specimen which, in my opinion, repre- 
sents an individual anomaly in the mental pholidosis, as Mr. Stejneger himself 
has suggested. The first lower labial meets its fellow behind the symphysial, 
having fused with the first chin-shield, whilst the third chin-shield has also 
fused with the corresponding lower labial.
