Snout short, obtuse. Lower eyelid with an undivided trans- 
parent disk. Nostril behind the vertical of the suture between the 
rostral and the first labial; this suture very oblique; normally no 
postnasal; anterior loreal in contact with the first labial; supra- 
nasals in contact behind the rostral ; frontonasal broader than long, 
usually in contact with the truncate anterior angle of the frontal; 
latter as long as, or a little longer than, the frontoparietals and 
interparietal together, in contact with the second and third supra- 
oculars ; four supraoculars, second largest, and usually touching the 
prefrontal; four or five (rarely six) supraciliaries ; frontoparietals 
two, smaller than the interparietal; parietals usually meeting behind 
the interparietal; one pair of nuchals; four labials anterior to 
the subocular; latter not narrowed inferiorly, about twice as large 
as the neighbouring labials. Ear-opening oval, about as large as 
a lateral scale, with two or three pointed lobules anteriorly, 
one of which usually is long. Nuchal and dorsal scales strongly 
tricarinate ; 32 or 34 scales round the middle of the body, dorsals 
a little larger than laterals and ventrals. The adpressed limbs 
meet or slightly overlap, or fail to meet. Subdigital lamelle 
smooth. Tail about once and a half as long as head and body. 
Olive or brown above, with a more or less distinct lighter vertebral 
band, and two narrow whitish lines on each side, the lower com- 
mencing below the eyo and passing through the ear; these light 
streaks may be edged with black lines or bands; the upper surfaces 
sometimes largely spotted with black, the sutures of the upper 
head-shields usually black; lower surfaces yellowish or greenish 
white.
