Habit stout. Head short ; snout as long as the diameter of the 

 orbit ; nostril equally distant from the eye and the tip of the snout ; 

 tympanum measuring nearly half the diameter of the orbit ; upper 

 head-scales rough, strongly keeled. Sides of neck strongly plicate 

 and studded with small spines ; a distinct dorso-lateral fold. Gular 

 scales a little smaller than ventrals, keeled. Body much depressed, 

 covered above with very irregular strongly keeled scales intermixed 

 with enlarged spinose ones ; the latter form a zigzag series on each 

 side of the vertebral region, the scales of which are not enlarged, 

 and a longitudinal series following the dorso-lateral fold ; they are 

 irregularly scattered on the flanks ; ventral scales strongly keeled 

 and mucronate. Limbs and digits short ; the adpressed hind limb 

 reaches the tympanum or between the latter and the orbit ; spinose 

 scales scattered on the limbs. Femoral pores four to six on each 

 side, not extending beyond the basal half of the thighs ; prseanal 

 pores two to five on each side. Tail round, depressed at the base, 

 once and two thirds to once and three fourths as long as head and 

 body, above with five longitudinal series of strongly enlarged spinose 

 scales. Brown above, sides darker ; a festooned dark brown, black- 

 edged band along the back ; lower surfaces pale brown, usually 

 dotted or reticulated with darker.
