This form agrees with M. agilis in every respect save the presence 
of only three supraoculars, the first and second having fused to a 
single shield. I therefore do not feel justified in separating it 
specifically.

This species is very closely allied to M. agilis, and distinguished 
only in the following points:—Snout rather shorter still. Three 
supraoculars, first very large; three or four supraciliaries, first or 
second very long. The first supraocular is not formed by fusion of 
two shields, as in M. agilis, var. nigropunctata. Tail twice as long 
as head and body. Dark brown above, sides black; a black ver- 
tebral line; two greenish-white streaks on each side, the upper 
commencing on the canthus rostralis, the lower on the upper lip ; 
lower surfaces yellowish or greenish white. 
The number of scales round the body is 28 or 30.
