covered with small scales and subconical tubercles; sides with two 
longitudinal rows of large, subovate, flat plates; chin and throat 
fringed longitudinally with long, smooth, thin, narrow, and pointed 
lobes of skin. Length 63 inches. This species, which is nearly 
allied to C. pumilus, is readily distinguished by the length of the 
lobes forming the guttural fringe, and their being smooth and 
destitute of granular scales.”

Differs from C. pumilus, with which it agrees in all other 
respects, in having the gular crest formed of small, more conical 
lobules covered with scales or granules, and in the absence of a 
lateral series of enlarged tubercles, these tubercles being reduced to 
one on one side and two on the other. ‘Four or six jet-black 
stripes along the sides of the throat.” 
From snout to vent 62 millim., tail 55.

Casque feebly elevated, narrow and pointed posteriorly, not very 
distinct from the body, especially in the females; the distance 
between the commissure of the mouth and the extremity of the 
casque hardly equals the length of the mouth; no rostral append- 
ages; crests (a lateral, an occipital, and a temporal intersecting 
the temporal region) low, covered with large convex tubercles; no 
occipital lobes; temporal scales large and flat. Scales on back and 
sides granular, unequal, intermixed with enlarged round or oval 
flat tubercles, the largest of which form a series along each side; a 
crest of isolated conical tubercles extends along the back and tail; 
ventral scales subequal, no ventral crest; throat with enlarged flat 
tubercles; a series of long, compressed, often denticulated, lobules 
covered with flat granules or scales, extends along the throat; these 
gular lobules constantly longer than broad. No tarsal process. 
Tail as long as, or a little shorter than, head and body in the males, 
shorter in the females; none of the tubercles on the tail equal in 
size the largest ones on the sides of the body.
