Two well-developed pairs of postmentals, inner pair much larger than the outer and in broad contact with each other behind the mental. Ventrolateral folds distinct. About 34–40 scale rows across the venter. All digits with enlarged scansors, lamellae in straight transverse series, all divided except the apical and a few basal that are undivided, 10–12 (manus and pes) lamellae beneath fourth digit and 9–10 (manus) and 8–9 (pes) beneath first digit. Femoral pores on each side 17– 22, separated by 10–11 poreless scales in males. Dorsal coloration pale-brown with transversely arranged saddleshaped markings running from the occiput to the sacrum that are of a darker shade.

). Dorsum pale-brown with no distinct vertebral stripe. Head dorsum pale-brown with a mottling of white and darker-brown spots in the forehead region. Snout light brown, with a scattering of white blotches. A coffee coloured, roughly L-shaped stripe runs from the post orbital region to the forelimb insertion. Four saddle-shaped markings running from the occiput to the sacrum are a darker shade of brown. Interspaces between saddles are similar in colouration to the rest of the dorsum. Most tubercles on the saddle-shaped markings, of a much darker shade of brown than the rest of the body. Tail distinctly banded, with alternating light and dark bands similar to trunk dorsum; darker bands slightly wider than pale bands on tail. Mottled pattern on limb bases with distinct banding distally. Iris marbled, light olive-green, suffused with prominent rust-brown venation; pupil black with crenulated margins that are a lighter shade of olive-green.

These strictly nocturnal geckos are seen occupying rock crevices during the day when they are easily disturbed by human presence.

They also seem to readily slough their scales when captured, a defence strategy employed by other geckos and an exaggerated version of which was more recently described in
