the middle of the body; three or four lateral scales correspond to 
the length of a ventral plate. Ventral plates broader than long, sub-, 
equal, in 8 longitudinal and 30 transverse series. Two semicircles 
of scales border the anal. The hind limb reaches nearly or quite 
the axilla. Scales on upper surface of crus smaller than dorsals. 
Femoral pores 16 to 20. Tail about twice as long as head and 
body; upper caudal scales keeled, obtusely pointed posteriorly, 
Olive-grey above, with four longitudinal series of black spots; a 
whitish streak along each side of the nape ; side with light spots; a

Head rather strongly depressed; snout rather long, obtuse. 
Rostral entering the nostril; two superposed postnasals ; five upper 
labials anterior to the subocular; a series of granules between the 
supraoculars and the supraciliaries ; occipital at least as long as, and 
broader’ than, the interparietal; temple granular, with a large 
masseteric disk; tympanic shield present; a supratemporal shield 
bordering the parietal anteriorly. Gular fold feebly marked ; 19 
to 23 gular scales on a line between the collar and the third pair 
of chin-shields; collar with even or very slightly serrated edge, 
with 9 to 13 plates. Dorsal scales oval or hexagonal, juxtaposed, 
keeled, 50 to 64 across the middle of the body ; three or four lateral 
scales correspond to the length of a ventral plate. Ventrals much 
broader than long, in 6 longitudinal series, the median pair nar- 
rowest; 24 to 29 transverse series. Praanal bordered by one or 
two semicircles of small scales. The hind limb reaches the axilla 
in the female, the shoulder or between the shoulder and the ear in 
the male. Scales on upper surface of crus smaller than dorsals.
