Coloration very pale brown above, fading gradually onto venter by lightening and dropping out of scales, pigmented scales irregularly continuing across the venter, more so anteriorly; the rostral is largely unpigmented, but the flanking upper wing of the posterior nasal and the preocular are both pigmented. Hemipenes are trumpet­shaped with a flat apex and no rim; the sulcus spermaticus enters the organ medially, spirals posteriorly then laterally for 1/4 turn and proceeds to the apex of the organ.
