Snout moderate, obtuse. Lower eyelid with an undivided semi- 
transparent disk. Nostril behind the vertical of the suture between 
the rostral and the first labial; a postnasal; anterior loreal not 
or but slightly in contact with the first labial; supranasals in con- 
tact behind the rostral, or narrowly separated ; frontonasal broader 
than long, usually in contact with the frontal ; latter as long as, or 
slightly longer than, the frontoparietals and interparietal together, 
in contact with the second and third supraoculars ; four supraoculars, 
second largest and usually touching the prefrontal; six or seven 
supraciliaries ; frontoparietals distinct, about as large as the inter- 
parietal; parietals sometimes forming a suture behind the inter- 
parietal, sometimes entirely separated ; a pair of nuchals; subocular 
between the fourth and fifth upper labials, about twice as long as 
these shields, not narrowed inferiorly. Ear-opening suboval, 
smaller than the eye-opening, without or with a very slight den- 
ticulation anteriorly. Dorsal and-lateral scales strongly tricarinate, 
anterior nuchals usually quinquecarinate ; 28 to 32 scales round 
the middle of the body, laterals a little smaller than the others. 
The hind limb reaches about the elbow of the adpressed fore limb.
