Supraoculars in contact with the supraciliaries ; the large anterior 
supraocular in contact with the loreal; temporal scales strongly 
keeled. Six or eight longitudinal series of strongly keeled shields 
on the nape, four on the back, median pair largest; ten or twelve 
longitudinal series of strongly keeled ventral shields (lateral series 
included). One or two (to six, according to Stoliczka) inguinal 
pores on each side. Greenish or brownish above, with metallic 
gloss ; a more or less distinct whitish, black-edged streak from the 
supraciliary edge along each side of the back to the base of the tail ; 
the black band bordering the light streak inferiorly begins on the 
loreal region and passes through the eye and above the tympanum ; 
sometimes two narrow black lateral lines instead of the black 
band ; sides frequently with small round light spots ; lower surfaces 
yellowish or greenish.
