Hinulia pallida, Giinth. Zool. Ereb. & Terr., Rept. p. 12. 
Body elongate, limbs rather thin ; the distance between the end 
of the snout and the fore limb is contained once and two thirds in 
the distance between axilla and groin. Snout much depressed, 
obtuse. Lower eyelid scaly. Nostril pierced in a single nasal; no 
supranasal ; frontonasal broader than long, forming a suture with 
the rostral and with the frontal; latter slightly longer than fronto- 
parietals and interparietal together, in contact with the three 
anterior supraoculars; four supraoculars; nine supraciliaries ; 
frontoparietals and interparietal distinct, subequal in length; 
parietals forming a suture behind the interparietal; no nuchals; 
fifth and sixth upper labials below the eye. ar-opening rather 
small, subtriangular ; no auricular lobules. 32 smooth scales round 
the middle of the body, subequal. A pair of enlarged preanals.
