Upper head-scales feebly keeled, imbricate, strongly enlarged on 

 supraorbital region ; two small slender spines on each side of the 

 back of the head, the anterior midway between the nuchal crest 

 and the tympanum, the posterior just above the latter, which mea- 

 sures half the diameter of the orbit. Gular sac small ; gular scales 

 strongly keeled, nearly as large as the ventrals. A strong oblique 

 fold or pit in front of the shoulder, and a transverse gular fold. 

 Nuchal crest composed of a few slender erect spines, the longest of 

 which measures the diameter of the tympanum ; dorsal crest a mere 

 denticulation. Fifty-five or fifty-seven scales round the middle of 

 the body ; dorsal scales of nearly the same size as the ventrals, 

 keeled, those on the upper half of the body directed upwards and 

 backwards, the others downwards and backwards ; ventral scales 

 strongly keeled and mucronate. The adpressed hind limb reaches 

 the posterior border of the orbit ; fourth finger longer than third. 

 Tail slightly compressed, the scales on its basal part large and hard, 

 those of the median upper row strongly enlarged and forming a 

 serrated ridge. Olive-brown above, vertebral zone rather lighter ; 

 a dark band from the eye, through the tympanum, along each side 

 of the neck ; the oblique fold in front of the shoulder black ; dark 

 lines radiating from the eye.
