Habit lacertiform ; the distance between the end of the snout and 
the fore limb is contained once to once and one third in the distance 
between axilla and groin. Snout moderate, pointed. Lower eye- 
lid with an undivided transparent disk. Nostril pierced between 
three small shields—a nasal, a postnasal, and a supranasal ; fronto- 
nasal broader than long, broadly in contact with the rostral, and 
usually also with the frontal ; latter a little shorter than the fronto- 
parietal, in contact with the first and second supraoculars; four 
supracculars ; seven or eight supraciliaries; frontoparietals and 
interparietal fused to a single large shield; parietals forming 
a suture behind the latter; a pair of nuchals and a pair of 
temporals border the parietals ; four labials anterior to the large 
subocular. Ear-opening oval, about as large as the transparent 
palpebral disk, with two or three very short obtuse lobules ante- 
riorly. 26 to 32 scales round the middle of the body, all smooth; 
dorsals largest, laterals smallest. Praeanal scales not or scarcely
