The varieties named rubriventris, Bp., flaviventris, Massal., cupret- 
ventris, Massal., rasquineti, Bedr., flaviundata, Bedr., corsica, Bedr., 
milensis, Bedr., erhardti, Bedr., persica, Bedr., bocaget, Seoane, &e., 
and the melanotic melisellensis, Braun, should also be grouped under 
the typical form. 
Size comparatively small. Head usually rather strongly de- 
pressed. The hind limb rarely reaches the axilla in the female. 
40 to 65 scales across the middle of the body; three or four lateral 
scales correspond to the length of a ventral. Upper parts brown or 
greyish, variously spotted, marbled, or streaked with blackish ; lower 
surfaces white, yellow, pink, or red, uniform or (in males) more or 
less largely spotted with black ; outer ventrals frequently blue.
