The single adult male specimen (USNM 498718) has 156 vertebrals, 149 ventrals, 56 caudals, and 55 subcaudals. Anal undi- vided; tail with enlarged vertebral row (dorsocaudals) formed by fusion of midvertebral row with both flank- ing paravertebral rows. Hemipenes of USNM 498718 are extremely narrow and elongate, and are covered with uniformly minute spines; hemipenes extend in situ to the 14th subcaudal plate. Measurements (in mm): SVL 251-347 mm (X = ± SD) for ten mature females; tail length X = 56-96 (X = ± SD) for eight mature females with complete tails. Coloration in preservative: Dorsum tan, orang- ish-tan to brown, with 12-30 (X = ± SD; n = 12) alternating dark brown to black spots (Figs. 1A, 3, 5C), each with three associated small white spots (Fig. 3), fading in intensity posteriorly, where they are replaced on scale rows 4-5 by a pair of dorsolateral black lines, gaining intensity posteriorly and continu- ing to tip of tail; faint vertebral thick gray stripe (1-3 scales in width) becoming increasingly apparent pos- teriorly from midbody; a pair of light cream lines dor- sal (medial) to black lines; posterior (distal) portions of each dorsal scale slightly to marke
