oculars; four supraoculars, second largest; seven supraciliaries ; 
frontoparietals distinct, longer than the interparietal; parietals 
forming a suture behind the interparietal, bordered by a pair of 
nuchals and a pair of temporals; two pairs of nuchals behind the 
anterior pair; sixth upper labial entering the orbit. Ear-opening
