M. Kargilensis, Stein. Keise der Nov. Rep. 



This species is very nearly related to M. Stolitczkce and 

 differs chiefly in this, that the fifth upper labial touches the 

 lower edge of the eye. In two small specimens there are 

 32, in the two larger 34 longitudinal rows of scales. On 

 the front edge of the ear opening lie 1-3 prominent scales tuber- 

 cular in form, of which the topmost is by far the larger. A 

 black band at the side of the body ; several rows of bright blue 

 spots between two black rows on the back ; belly bright blue, 

 often with a dark enclosure of scales. Normally only 7 upper 

 labials. The prsefrontal plates separated from each other. 



Inhabits Kargil, teste Stoliczka.
