in a cross series between the hind limbs. Ventral plates broader 
than long, not quite so broad as in A. boskianus, in 10 longi- 
tudinal series. Usually a median series of broad przanals, pos- 
terior largest. The adpressed hind limb reaches the tympanum, 
or between the latter and the shoulder. Digital denticulations | 
strong, shorter than the diameter of the corresponding part of the 
toe, more developed on the outer than on the inner edge of the 
fourth toe. Upper caudal scales strongly keeled; basal subcaudals 
smooth. Coloration as in A. boskianus, but the light dorsal lines 
narrower.

Snout obtuse. Four supraoculars; subocular not reaching the 
lip ; temporal scales not keeled; front edge of the ear indistinctly 
denticulated. Dorsal scales minute, granular, smooth on the nape 
and between the shoulders, slightly enlarged, rhomboidal, imbricate, 
very obtusely keeled or tectiform towards the hinder part of the 
body. Ventral plates broader than long, in 8 or 10 longitudinal 
series. A median series of broad preanals, posterior largest. 
The hind limb reaches the shoulder. Digital denticulations rather 
feebly developed, much shorter than the diameter of the correspond- 
ing part of the toe, more developed on the outer than on the inner 
edge of the fourth toe. Upper caudal scales keeled; basal sub- 
caudals smooth or indistinctly keeled. Greyish above, the young 
with longitudinal white bands and series of small round white 
spots in the interspaces ; adult with longitudinal series of blackish 
spots.
