•upper edge is elegantly serrated, but the hinder or lower 
part re quite whole ; the outer surface is covered with 
keeled scales, which are largest towards its centre ; the inner 
surface is quite smooth. The scales of the back are oval,

unequal, varying in joints, as stated in the generic character 
(which includes also the claw joint), compressed, scaly; the 
claws hooked, horn-coloured.
