Tail with four strongly keeled dorsal tubercles rows dorsally and subcaudal scales small, about one fourth of the tail width, interspersed by large series of horizontal whorls of keeled scales. Males with 15-22 continuous precloacal-femoral pores. Five divided scansors beneath first digit of both manus and pes, seven or eight beneath fourth digit of manus, nine beneath the fourth digit of pes. Dorsum darker coloration on the dorsal part of the head that continues along the medial part of the dorsum until the sacrum.

Body slender, nape distinct. Head slightly narrower than the body and largely elongated (HW/HL 0.65). Canthus rostralis not prominent. Eye diameter (3.04 mm), with vertical pupil and crenulated margin. Supraciliar scales small and rounded. Ear height (0.83 mm). Ear to eye distance slightly larger than orbit diameter (3.46 mm). Snout rounded and pointed. Frontal scales granular and larger than occipital scales. Occipital scales granular interspersed with large number of smooth and conical tubercle scales from eyes to nape.

One or two rows of scales between supralabials and the orbit. Mental large, triangular and rounded posteriorly, with two large rectangular postmental scales in broad contact posteriorly to the mental. 4 post-postmental scales, composed by post-postmental slightly smaller than postmental scales in contact with postmentals and 1st and 2nd infralabials, and 2 post-postmental half size than lateral post-postmental in contact with postmental scales. Gular scales slightly smaller than ventral scales and granular.

" refers to the Farm Carivo, an old estate situated along the banks of the mid-lower Coporolo River on the coastal plain of Benguela Province, and where most of the type series was collected. The species proved to be common in the area, and by recognizing the farm, we also acknowledge the ongoing support from the owners to researchers, similar to the Chapmans nearly a century ago.

, it is possible that some historical material was wrongly identified and should instead belong to this newly described species. Spiny savannas are well distributed in western Angola, suggesting that the new species might be common across a wider range than what is currently known, but available data is still poor. However, due to limited material confirmed to belong to this species, we
