Head moderate, snout moderate, obtuse. Rostral not touching 
the nostril; one, rarely two postnasals; a single anterior loreal ; 
four upper labials anterior to the subocular; a series of granules 
between the supraoculars and the supraciliaries; occipital shorter 
and a little broader than the interparietal; temple covered with 
scales of very unequal size; two or three upper temporals border 
the parietal, and the masseteric and tympanic are distinct and large. 
No gular fold; 15 to 17 gular scales on a line between the collar 
and the third pair of chin-shields; collar with serrated edge, com- 
posed of 6 or 7 plates. Dorsal scales hexagonal, longer than broad, 
strongly and diagonally keeled, slightly imbricate; lateral scales 
keeled, smaller than dorsals, alternately two and three corresponding 
to the length of a ventral plate; 37 to 40 scales across the middle 
of the body. Ventrals in six longitudinal series, the second series 
on each side from the median ventral line the largest; 25 or 26 
transverse series. Preeanal shield large, bordered by a single series 
of small scales. The hind limb reaches the axilla. Foot a little 
longer than the head. Femoral pores 9 to 12. Tail about twice as 
long as head and body ; upper caudal scales strongly keeled, pointed 
posteriorly. Olive above, with small blackish dots and a broad dark- 
brown lateral band edged inferiorly, at least from the eye to the 
shoulder, by a whitish, black-edged streak; this streak usually _ 
distinct along the side of the tail; lower surfaces uniform greenish 
white.
