Lygosoma mjöbergi n. sp. A member of the Homolepida-group. Body much

no supranasal; frontanasal broader than long, forming a broad suture as well with 
the rostral as with the frontal; latter shield shorter than frontoparietal and inter- 
parietal together, in contact with first and second supraoculars. Four supraoculars, 
second largest. Six or seven supraciliaries. Frontoparietals distinct of the same.
