Approaching LZ. ocellata. Granules between the supraoculars and 
the supraciliaries usually reduced to three or four; occipital rather 
large, usually broader than the interparietal; no distinct tympanic 
shield. Dorsal scales smaller, less distinctly hexagonal, less strongly 
keeled than in the typical form; 52 to 58 scales across the middle 
of the body; lateral scales larger than median dorsals. Usually 
8 well-developed rows of ventrals. Femoral pores 12 to 17, usually 
13 or 14. Young olive or brownish above, with large yellow or 
bluish-white, black-edged ocelli on the sides of the head and body. 
These ocelli often disappear in the adult, which are green or brown 
above, variously spotted or reticulated with black. Lower surfaces 
yellowish, immaculate in the young, often with round black spots 
in the adult. Throat blue in the adult.

A larger form, attaining nearly to the size of L. ocellata. Con- 
stantly a series of granules between the supraoculars and the supra- 
ciliaries ; occipital usually as broad as or a little broader but shorter 
than the interparietal ; temporal scales smaller than in the typical 
form usually with a very distinct tympanic shield. 50 to 58 scales 
across the middle of the body, the laterals not larger than the
