Y-shaped series of enlarged scales on the forehead ; a compressed 

 prominent scale on the posterior part of the supraciliary region ; 

 eight upper labials, the last twice as large as the preceding. 

 The male's gular appendage as long as the head. Male with a 

 distinct nuchal crest and with a similar crest along each side 

 of the neck. Dorsal scales irregular, very feebly keeled, the 

 largest at least twice as large as the ventrals; on each side 

 of the posterior half of the trunk a continuous series of keeled 

 scales, some of which are larger than the rest. The fore limb 

 stretched forwards extends beyond the tip of the snout ; the ad- 

 pressed hind limb reaches slightly beyond the elbow of the ad- 

 pressed fore limb."
