Closely allied to 0. Jcandianus, from which it differs in the fol- 

 lowing points : — The gular granules are larger, flat, smooth ; so are 

 also all the ventral scales ; the mental is very seldom truncated 

 posteriorly, and the median chin-shields form a suture hehind 

 its point. Males with two or four praeanal, and on each side 

 three to five femoral pores. Grey-brown above, with darker and 

 lighter spots ; generally a median row of light blotches on the 

 centre of the back; temples and sides of neck and throat with 

 oblique dark brown lines ; tail with blackish semiannuli ; digits 

 conspicuously blackish-barred ; whitish beneath.
