Habit lacertiform ; the distance between the end of the snout and 
the fore limb is contained about once and one fourth in the distance 
between axilla and groin. Snout moderate, obtuse. Lower eyelid 
with an undivided transparent disk. Supranasal present; fronto- 
nasal broader than long, forming a broad suture with the rostral ; 
prefrontals forming a median suture; frontal rather small; seven 
supraoculars ; ten supraciliaries ; frontoparietal single ; interparietal 
distinct; a pair of nuchals and a pair of temporals border the 
parietals ; sixth upper labial largest, below the eye. Ear-opening 
moderately large, roundish, without lobules. 37 smooth scales 
round the middle of the body; laterals a little smaller than dorsals 
and ventrals. Marginal preanals scarcely enlarged. The hind limb 
reaches nearly the axilla. Digits moderate, subdigital lamella 
smooth. Tail nearly once and one third the length of head and 
body. Iridescent brown above, most of the scales with a large
