Description of holotype A small species of Cnemaspis (snout-vent length mm); snout elongate, large (HL/ SVL ratio ), narrow (HW/SVL ratio ), depressed (HD/HL ratio ), distinct from neck; lores sloping and interorbital region flattened; snout long (E-S/HW ratio ), longer than eye diameter (ED/E-S ratio ); scales on snout and forehead warty, under magnification revealed as tubercles that are raised towards posterior of each scale; scales on snout larger than those on occipital region; eye large (ED/HL ratio ); 'extra-brillar fringes' (of Underwood, 1954) indistinct; pupil round; elongated supraciliaries on top half of orbit; ear-opening deep, slit-like, its greatest diameter vertically, fairly narrow (EL/E-S ratio ); eye to ear distance greater than diameter of eyes (E-E/ED ratio ); no ridge of tubercles along mandible or from posterior of orbit to postero-venter of tympanum, or from antero-dorsum of tympanum to nape; rostral completely divided by a simple rostral groove which meets anterior of snout; rostral less than half as deep as wide (rostral width= mm/rostral depth= mm; width/depth ratio ); contacted posteriorly by two nostrils and two semi-circular supranasals that are separated by a single scale; ventro-posteriorly, rostral is in contact with supralabial I; nostrils oval, situated within nasals, and oriented later- ally; nasals reduced, in broad contact with supralabial I; anterior nasal larger than poste- rior nasal; three postnasals bound nasal; four scale rows separate orbit from supralabials; mentals subtriangular, deeper than wide, paired postmentals that are semicircular, smaller than mental and separated by a single scale; poste- riorly, each postmental is bounded by three smooth, rounded and juxtaposed scales; tongue narrowly elon
