Habit lacertiform; the distance between the end of the snout 
and the fore limb is contained once and one fourth to once and two 
thirds in the distance between axilla and groin. Snout short, ob- 
tuse. Lower eyelid scaly. Nostril pierced in the middle of a small 
nasal; a supranasal; frontonasal broader than long, in contact 
with the rostral and with the frontal; latter a little longer than 
the frontoparietals and parietals together, in contact with the first 
and second supraoculars; five supraoculars, fifth very small, second 
largest; eight or nine supraciliaries, first largest; frontoparietals 
distinct, larger than the interparietal, which entirely separates the 
parietals; nuchals often not distinctly differentiated; four labials 
anterior to the subocular. Ear-opening small, elliptical, oblique. 
80 scales round the middle of the body, subequal, dorsals and 
laterals with three or five strong keels. Preanals not enlarged. 
The hind limb reaches the wrist or the elbow. Digits moderately 
elongate, with strong claws, the basal phalanges somewhat flattened, 
the distal strongly compressed ; subdigital lamellz smooth, 17 to 20 
under the fourth toe. Tail a little longer than head and body. 
Head, neck, and anterior part of the back black; a pale yellowish 
or greenish band from the rostral to the occiput; two others on 
each side, the upper beginning on the supraciliary border, the lower 
below the eye; scattered pale dots between the light bands; the 
rest of the body and the limbs olive, with small black and pale 
spots ; lower surfaces greenish white.
