Mental wider than high, followed by three postmentals. Guiar region covered by keeled scales, guiar sac small, covered with little enlarged keeled scales, smaller than ventrals. A skin fold stretches from angle of mouth to insertion of foreleg. Nuchal crest formed by 10 lanceolate erect scales, bordered laterally by smaller erect scales, longest little longer than diameter of orbit. Mid- dorsal scale row forming a small dorsal crest by triangu- lar erect scales, which is lower than nuchal crest, sepa-. Fig. 4.

Ventrals about two times larger than dorsals, strongly keeled. Limbs relatively strong, covered by keeled scales. Coloration. Coloration in life not known for holo- and paratype, but supposedly green body colouration. In al- cohol (Fig. 2): upper side of body and head dark brown to almost black.
