. Head and body dorsoventrally compressed; HL 11.9 mm, HW 9.0 mm, broadest at posterior level of eye and 1.32 times longer than wide. Eye large (2.3 mm wide), pupil vertical with indented margins; circumorbital scales small and smooth, elongate at upper anterior margin, upper three posterior scales with small upward pointing spines. Snout rounded, 4.9 mm long, slightly longer than distance between eye and ear openings (4.0 mm). Scales on top of snout smooth, rounded, scales to the edge larger than central ones, with no intervening minute granules. Scales on snout slightly subequal in size to those on the back of head or the nape. Scales on eyelids larger than those on the crown, five scales deep from circumorbital scale to crown. Circumorbital scales are separated by a row of smaller scales from the larger scales on eyelids. Nostril pierced between rostral and three nasal scales; 1st supralabial narrowly excluded from nostril; the supranasal being much larger than the subequal postnasals and separated from each other by two smaller scales. Nostrils slightly elevated. Rostral roughly rectangular, but with its upper edges elongated due to extensions into the nostril. Eight supralabials on each side, the labial margin flexing upwards at the rictus (approx. mid-orbital position), with 3-4 minute scales proximal to the flexure. Ten infralabials on either side, with a small scale proximal to the flexure. At the lip, mental slightly narrower than adjacent infralabial, only three quarters the width of rostral and in contact with two distinctly elongate postmental scales. Scales on throat much smaller than those on belly; scales touching infralabials larger. Fifteen scales across the crown at level of front of eyes; 16 scales from ear to eye; 83 scales around mid-body. Ear opening deep, oblique and roughly oval, only half as high as wide (0.3

0.5 mm). Scales on dorsum smooth, non-overlapping, largest at mid-body, smaller on nape and tail base. Scales on ventrum flattened, not overlapping, more-or-less ovate at mid-ventrum, twice the size of lateral granules and 1.5 times those along the backbone. Original tail slightly dorsoventrally flattened and distinctly verticillate (11 verticils in total), with obvious lateral constrictions that are not that distinct to tip of tail; each verticil comprising 5 imbricate rows of scales dorsally and 4 imbricate scale rows ventrally and with ventral scales approximately twice the size of those on the dorsal surface. Limbs well developed, hindlimbs slightly longer than forelimbs, mite pockets (dermal crevices inhabited by small ectoparasitic mites) only present at anterior margin of hindlimbs. All digits with a large pair of distal scansors, separated by a large, curved claw and followed by a large gap (twice the length of terminal scansor) by a smaller pair of scansors; infero-median row of digital scales enlarged transversely, particularly towards the scansors, where the terminal scale adjoining the first pair of scansors may be medially constricted, swollen and scansor-like; enlarged subdigital lamellae on 4th toe 9. Precloacal pores 9.

An exclusively rupicolous species living in crevices between rocks or under flakes of exfoliating rocks in boulders at elevations of 920-2,055 m a.s.l. Specimens were collected in cracks of relatively small- to medium-sized boulders of carbonatitic origin surrounded by montane grassland. Some individuals were also found under flakes in large granite boulders and often in steep vertical rock faces and overhangs.

). It appears to have a relatively large, but patchy, distribution on the Angolan highlands and may extend its range into neighbouring provinces. Although sometimes locally common, it appears to be absent from vast areas in-between, where the species would be expected to occur. Populations in isolated granite outcrops may be threatened by removal of rock flakes for construction of homes and other buildings.
