Loreal elongated, situated above the second and third labials, and forming, with the postfrontal, the anterior part of the orbit. Eyes circular. Superciliaries proportionally large. One angular postorbital, elevated, the fourth labial forming the lower portion of the posterior part of the orbit. Temporal shields of medium size. Mouth deeply cleft. Upper labials five; fourth and fifth very large. Inferior labials six; fifth disproportion- ally the largest. Body slender, subcylindrical; tail short, and very much taper- ing.

This small species is distributed over the Austroriparian district, and extends into the Eastern, but how far is as yet unknown.
