Head rather long, more or less depressed. Rostra] not entering 
the nostril; normally a single postnasal and four upper labials 
anterior to the subocular (often five anterior labials in vars. his- 
panica and bedriage); a series of granules between the supra- 
oculars and the supraciliaries ; occipital small or moderate; temple 
granular, usually with distinct masseteric and tympanic plates. 
Gular fold more or less distinct; 20 to 35 gular scales on a 
line between the collar and the third pair of chin-shields; collar 
even-edged or, rarely, slightly serrated, composed of 9 to 11 
plates. Dorsal scales granular, smooth or feebly keeled, laterals 
a slarge or a little smaller; 40 to 80 scales across the middle of 
the body; three to five lateral scales correspond to the length of a 
ventral plate. Ventrals squarish, broader than long, in 6, rarely 
8, longitudinal, and 25 to 32 transverse series. Praeanal bordered 
by one or two semicircles of small scales. Limbs rather elongate 
especially in the males, in which the hind limb reaches the shoulder 
or beyond. Scales on upper surface of tibia smaller than dorsals. 
Femoral pores 13 to 29. Tail usually about twice as long as head 
and body; caudal scales more or less distinctly keeled, with trun- 
cate or very obtusely pointed posterior border.
