Snout obtuse. Three supraoculars, the fourth being broken up 
into granules, the first usually separated from the second by a series 
of granules; subocular usually bordering the lip; temporal scales 
smooth ; front edge of the ear very feebly denticulated. Dorsal 
scales more or less strongly keeled, very small on the nape, gra- 
dually increasing in size towards the posterior part of the back, 
where they are very much smaller than the caudals, rhomboidal, 
feebly imbricate. Ventral plates broader than long, in 10 longitu- 
dinal series. Preanals usually small, irregular or with a median 
series of transversely enlarged ones. The adpressed hind limb 
reaches the tympanum or the eye. Digital denticulations mode- 
rately developed, much shorter than the diameter of the correspond- 
ing part of the toe, usually more developed on the outer than on the 
inner edge of the fourth toe *. Upper caudal scales keeled ; basal 
subcaudals smooth or obtusely keeled. Grey above, with white 
longitudinal lines on the body and round spots on the limbs; the 
interspaces between the light lines frequently blackish, with a series 
of small round white spots.
