upper labials anterior to the subocular : a series of granules between 
the supraoculars and the supraciliaries; occipitdl shorter than the 
interparietal ; temple with irregular scales ; masseteric, tympanic, 
and supratemporal shields distinct. Gular fold distinct; collar with 
serrated edge, composed of 7 to 9 plates. Dorsal scales rather 
sharply pointed, scarcely larger than the laterals, the length of which 
corresponds to that of the ventrals; 20 to 23 scales across the 
middle of the body. Ventrals in 6 longitudinal series, median and 
outer smallest, and 22 to 24 transverse series. Two elongate plates 
in front of the anal. The hind limb reaches the axilla or a little 
beyond. Femoral pores 12 to 15. Tail about once and a half the 
length of head and body. Olive-green above, sides with black and 
white spots; a yellowish streak along each side of the body.
