Snout rounded, lobed. Rostral broad, nearly straightsided in dorsal aspect, sides curving mesiad to apex (RW1/RL1 0.93), not flared on apex; moderate umbo; no labial flare. Anterior nasal width as a proportion of RW1 0.49. Upper wing of anterior nasals broad, preocular angle relatively small (98°), apex rounded; lower portion contacting labials 2 and 3 of upper labial series. OL 1/2 height, OS 0.24. Rostronasal pattern strongly divergent. Postocular very elongate by fusion (on each side) with a lower scale, extending well below bottom edge of ocular. First parietals relatively narrow and long (i.e., not transversely elongate), the width of two succeeding scale rows. Second parietals present and similar in size to the first. TL

Coloration bicolor with dorsal pigmentation (medium brown) ending abruptly along a midlateral or dorsolateral line by dropping out of pigmentation on individual scales, resulting in a jagged line of separation between pigmented and nonpigmented scales along almost all of the length; nine pigmented scale rows at midbody.
