: Skull triangular in dorsal view. Prevomer divided; post-choanal portion long and straight, extending anteroventrolaterally from the sphenethmoid where it nearly meets medially; postchoanal prevomers overlapping, fused with, or replacing the palatine, possessing a serrated ridge along the ventral surface that is here referred to as being ‘vomerine teeth’, although the true dental nature of these teeth is uncertain. Teeth present on maxilla and premaxilla. Premaxilla L-shaped in anterior view, U-shaped in dorsal view; a thick lateral ramus and tapering, pointed medial ramus extend posteriorly from the anterior bone plate. Septomaxilla U-shaped in dorsal view, consisting of a flat anterior plate with one posteriorjutting ramus on its ventromedial edge, and one on its ventrolateral edge; the lateral ramus possesses one medial and one lateral apophysis; the medial apophysis extending medioventrally, almost to the level of the medial ramus in dorsal view. Squamosal broad and Y-shaped. Nasal broad and fairly elliptical, with two lateral projections from its lateral edge, the posterior of which is much longer than the anterior. Columella slender with a slightly domed footplate, reminiscent of a red blood cell (

) includes the following comments on body colour (translated from the original French): “dorsally brown, with fine black vermiculated dots, somewhat lighter on the dorsal surface of the head. The flanks and thighs are dorsally and posteriorly tobacco-brown in colour, riddled with yellow spots. This colour runs into the dorsal pattern in the inguinal region. Tibia and tarsus dorsally coloured as the back. Ventrally, many fine dark spots on the throat and chest, more loosely obvious on the abdomen and thighs, with small white spots anteriorly, wider posteriorly.”
