Subdigital scansors, exclusive of di- vided distalmost scansor (manus): I (4), II (4), III (4), IV (4), V (4); (pes) I (4), II (4), III (4), IV (4), V (4). Tail sub-cylindrical, clearly depressed; original tail approx- imately snout-vent length (TailL/SVL ratio ); tail con- stricted basally, then expanded before tapering towards tip, distinctly segmented; each segment with 5 rows of scales dorsally and 3 ventrally, dorsal caudal, tail segment; cau- dal tubercles heterogeneous, medial tubercles more-or-less recumbent, lateral tubercles projecting, up to 8 keeled tu- bercles per row basally, decreasing to 4 on distal caudal segments; subcaudal scales smooth, imbricating, oval to rectangular; no enlarged postcloacal spurs on side of tail- base. Coloration. In preservative (Fig. 2): Ground color of dor- sum straw to yellowish brown with mid-brown markings. A broad' V"-shaped nape band and a transverse band an- terior to hindlimb insertion. Trunk bearing a series if ir- regular oval markings, darker on their edges than at their centers, 3 (left) and 4 (right) markings in paravertebral po- sition, 6 on upper left flank, last fused with transverse band, 2 on upper right flank followed by an irregular lon- gitudinal marking representing the fusion of several oval markings. An additional pair of small dark markings at an- terior face of hindlimb insertion and an additional cross- band on dorsum of posterior sacrum. Head with a pale stripe from nostril to an
