. Rostral wider than high, and visible from above. Nasals widely separated behind rostral by frontonasal. Frontonasal rounded anteriorly, wider than long. Nostrils small, set posteriorly in the nasals bordering the postnasal; supranasals absent. Prefrontals separated from each other, contacting loreals, first supraocular, first supraciliary, frontal and frontonasal. Two loreals, anterior one higher than broad, posterior one subquadrangular; preocular divided diagonally into two subtriangular scales on right side, and horizontally on left side into a small superior scale and a larger inferior one. Frontal length shorter than distance between anterior tip of frontal and tip of snout; frontal in contact with frontonasal and prefrontals anteriorly, and first supraocular posteriorly. Frontoparietals fused, in contact supraoculars; parietals and interparietal. Frontoparietal plus interparietal length twice the length of the frontal. Interparietal subtriangular, anterior margin wider and rounded, slightly acuminate posteriorly, with visible parietal foramen in the center; parietals about the same width as fused frontoparietals, in broad contact with each other behind interparietal. A pair of large, broad nuchals collectively bordered by a total of eight dorsals. Supraoculars three. Supraciliaries four, first higher than broad and last wider than high. Pretemporals two. Tympanum visible, ear opening wider than high, approximately one-fifth the height of the eye. Supralabials seven, the fifth being the subocular. Ablepharine eye. Infralabials six. Postmental bordering seven scales (mental, two primary chin-shields, and two infralabials on each side). Ventral scales smooth.

Dorsal scales individually stippled with black, especially on dorsal aspect of head; labials greyish white, with individual black spots; pale and black spots scattered on lateral sides of neck.
