Terminal sections of some toes are also decayed; here numbers II–IV are transluscent and ‘ghostly’ and the distal section of toe V is partly obscured by contact with the tail.</paragraph>

Dorsal surface of basal part of tail covered with small, slightly imbricate, rounded, quite convex scales that show some variation in size and are arranged in irregular transverse rows Scale size increases lateroventrally and ventral scales in the most basal area are larger and less convex than those dorsally, although again arranged in transverse rows. This is also true more distally, beyond the level of the hind limb, where the scales are larger still, being about 3–4 times the diameter of the dorsal scales on the tail base. They are weakly convex and their posterior edges imbricate, the free borders being rounded. Distally, scales may be staggered in each transverse row, producing a tessellated pattern. No laterally expanded medial series of enlarged subcaudal scales is apparent.

Basal area of foot covered above with small scales similar to those on dorsum of crus; those below on ‘heel’ only about half as big as those above, but scales on distal sole markedly larger. Toes all relatively short with toe III longest; broad basally with a long differentiated distal section in toes II–V that is narrow and laterally compressed at least towards the tip. Broad basal sections of toes III–IV quite similar in length, with those of toes V and especially I markedly shorter. At least toes III and IV are inflected in the vertical plane, with the much of the distal part of the pads directed downwards, and their tips and the narrow distal sections of the toes upwards; the narrow distal section of toe II is also inflected upwards.

Broad basal sections of toes covered above by small scales about the same size as those on dorsum of crus, lower parts form a flattened pad similar in structure to the adhesive toe pads of many living geckos; on toes II–IV these gradually increase in width distally and then gradually narrow for the last third or so of their length. Pads are covered below by simple straight transverse lamellae that extend to base of toes; approximate numbers on toes as follows: toe
