First supralabial in contact with nasal, but not in contact with the nostril. Two well-developed pairs of postmentals, inner pair broadly in contact with each other and considerably larger than the outer pair. Ventrolateral folds indistinct, 38–39 scale rows across venter. Enlarged scansors on all digits; 11–12 (manus) and 10–12 (pes) divided scansors beneath first digit, and 13–15 (manus) and 14–16 (pes) beneath the fourth digit. 17 femoral pores on each thigh, separated by seven poreless scales in the male. 15–16 supralabials and 10–12 infralabials. Tail depressed, oval in transverse section without a median dorsal furrow; scales on the tail large and imbricate, slightly larger than dorsals of body; ventral scales of tail large and imbricate, separated with medial row of transversely enlarged and irregularly arranged subcaudal plates.
