The snout is more pointed. There is no canthus rostralis. Eye about as large as its distance from mouth, pupil round. Body cylindrical to depressed, scales smooth in 15 rows, ven- trals rounded. Scalation: Rostral broader than deep, sharply angulate, in front, visible dorsally; nasal entire; internasals a little smaller than prefrontals; single prefrontal in contact with nasal; frontal posteriorly acute, almost 1£ times as long as broad, longer than its distance to snout, about twice as broad and !U times length of supraoculars; parietals large, temporals 2+2, anteriors larger; two postoculars; 6 supralabials, 3rd and 4th enter eye; 7 infralabials, 4th largest; two pairs of chinshields of similar size, both pairs in contact; 1st to 3rd or 4th infralabials in contact with anterior chin-shields; 4th, or 3rd and 4th infralabials in contact with posterior chin-shields. The head-shields of paratypes agree with the type except that in the paratype lodged at Ocean Beach Aquarium a small pair of scales follows rostral, abnormally occupying part of interanasal area. Glenmorgan type: 15 scale rows; ventrals 148; anal 1; subcaudals 31, entire. Specimen donated to Australian Museum. la 1b 1c.
