The nasal rhomboid comprised circular nostrils, located at the centre of the nasal cavity. Fronto-nasal was fan-shaped and connected to the prefrontals. Prefrontals were pentagonal, a pair of prefrontals were connected with a border between them, located between the fronto-nasal and frontal (seven of fourteen individuals); three of the 14 individuals had frontals, fronto-nasals and a pair of prefrontals connected by a point; 3 of the 14 individuals had the frontal and frontal-nasal widely in contact with each other and the prefrontals were separate from each other. The frontal was wedge-shaped, which contacts with the prefrontals, the third and fourth supraoculars and a pair of frontoparietals posterolaterally. Six of the 14 individuals had frontals in contact with fronto-nasals, the prefrontals were not in contact with each other. The second supraocular region, in contact with the frontal and prefrontal regions, was a single tiny supracular hexagon, between the second supraocular and prefrontal regions. A pair of frontoparietals were in broad contact with each other; besides each frontoparietal was in contact with the frontal, third, fourth supraoculars, the parietal and interparietal. The interparietal rhomboid, in contrast with the frontoparietals, was posteriorly in contact with the parietals. A pair of parietals contact each other; additionally, each parietal was in contact with the interparietal, frontoparietal, fourth supracular and temporals. There were three scales between the nasal cavity and eyes; 10 of the individuals had at least four scales on one side. There were seven supralabials, four loreals between the nasal and eyes and a fourth tiny loreal. The specimen had seven infralabials; three individuals had six infralabials on each side. The temporal 1+2 and the second subtemporal were large and trapezoidal. The mental was wider than long, in contact with the first infralabial laterally and postmental posteriorly. There was a single, large postmental with four pairs of large chin-shields; the first pair was in contact with the second pair narrowly separated by a single medial scale. Dorsal scalation was homogeneous with four columns; there were longitudinal scale rows at mid-body 25 (25-28). There were 28 (25-29) scales around the middle of the neck and 50 (42 -51) ventral scales. There were 17 toe IV lamellae.</paragraph>

The back was coppery brown, with dark longitudinal spots on the edges of the scales, which generated three black lines continuing on-to the tail; there were white longitudinal spots in the middle of the scales, generating three irregular lines continuing to the back of the tail base.
