gular. Two supra-ciliaries and two very small occipitals. Four upper- 
labials, the third of them entering tlio orbit. Mental very small; five 
lower-labials. No mental groove. No distinct chin shields, all of them 
resembling ordinary scales. Ventrals very small. Anal divided, subcau- 
dals undivided. 
5. Anomalochilus wcberi n. sp. (plate XV, fig. 1, 2 and 3). 
Sumatra: Kaju tanam, 1 spec. 
This very interesting species agrees with Tortrix scytale Lin. in the 
absence of a mental groove, but differs from that species in the arran- 
gement of the eye, which is not covered by one shield but surrounded 
by four shields viz. by the supraciliary, the praefrontal, the third 
upper-labial and the posterior ocular. It agrees with CylindropMs ruf a 
Laur. in having a supraciUary and a posterior ocular, but it differs 
both from CylindropMs rufa Laur. and from Tortrix scytale Lin. in 
the number of the upper-labials. 
Head very small, depressed, not distinct from neck. The distance 
between both corners of the mouth equals the distance from one 
corner of the mouth to the tip of the snout. Nasals nearly as broad 
as the praefrontals. Vertical nearly twice as large as the supraciliary, 
quadrangular, the anterior angle being very obtuse, the posterior al- 
most a right one. The occipitals small, resembhng ordinary scales. A 
small triangular postocular. The third upper-labial the largest, touch- 
ing the eye and the praefrontal. Scales in 21 rows, the ventrals 
scarcily differing in size with the other scales, 244 in number, a 
divided anal, six undivided subcaudals, followed by two rows of sca- 
les at the extremity of the tail. 
Coloration (in spirits) brown, each brown scale with fighter edge. 
A fight spot on each of the praefrontals and on the vertical. On both 
sides of the back a series of round fight spots placed in pairs or 
alternatively, the number of these spots amounts to 28. Along the 
middle of the sides runs an interrupted whitish line. The underparts 
of the trunk are provided with a large number of irregular fight spots 
arranged in two longitudinal series, but sometimes flowing together. 
The divided anal is for the greater part whitish; whilst on the 
under part of the tail there is a white cross-band the outer parts of 
which ascend along the sides and reach the back, however without 
forming a complete ring. At the extremity of the tail two small 
round spots are seen on the upper part.
