The only published description is so inadequate that I 

 append a more detailed diagnosis.

 end of the snout and the fore-limb is contained twice in the dis- 

 tance between the axilla and groin. Snout obtuse. Lower 

 eyelid scaly. Supranasals present, in contact behind the rostral. 

 Frontonasal much broader than long forming a crescentic suture
