Subdigital Lamellae 7-10.

intermixed with large strongly keeled scales, arranged in longitudinal

largest on the occiput ; ear narrow vertical ; eight to ten transverse 
lamellae below the digits. Brown or greyish above, back and tail with

Similar to bibroni in colour and other general characters, but

irregular longitudinal rows ; across middle of back nineteen to twenty-one 
tubercles ; across middle of belly forty-three to forty-five scales.
