. Casque low, barely elevated above the nape. Parietal crest consists of a row of 3 enlarged tubercles at the apex of the casque. This forks anteriorly into two short rows each consisting of 2 low tubercles. Supra-orbital ridges more or less smooth. The supra-orbital ridges are separated from each other across the mid-orbital point by three flattened tubercles. The canthal ridge is adorned with a row of 4 prominent rounded tubercles—the most anterior the largest. A temporal crest composed of 4 similarly sized enlarged tubercles arises from the mid posterior orbital rim; this crest ascends along the posterior rim of the casque to its apex. The top of the casque and the zone below the temporal crest are covered with similar-sized, flattened tubercles. The nares open infero-posteriorly about midway between the anterior orbital rim and the snout. A single row of tubercles separates the inferior orbital rim and the upper labials. There is no rostral process. Seventeen upper labials and 17 lower labials are present from the tip of the snout to the posterior margin of the orbital rim. Two tubercles separate the upper labials from the end of the canthal ridge. There is no trace of a gular crest, or ventral crest. The sides of the body are clad with somewhat heterogeneous, flattened polygonal tubercles, with larger tubercles showing a tendency to rosette formation on the lower flanks. A network of thin interstitial grooves extends between the tubercles. There is no row of enlarged flank tubercles. The dorsal vertebral crest is represented by a single small cone at the nape behind the casque, followed by a second much smaller cone. Thereafter the dorsal keel is smooth. The tail is likewise smooth. The outer surfaces of the limbs are covered in enlarged flattened tubercles while the inner surfaces of the limbs are clad with small regular tubercles.

Head—Top of head olive green with lighter green tubercles on casque. Skin of eyeballs light brown with two thin horizontal stripes running through the middle and extending posteriorly along the temporal crest and anteriorly just below the canthal ridge. The zone below the temporal crest is powder blue scattered with greenish tubercles. A small triangular area between the mouth line, nares and the orbital rim is blue green. The gular region is suffused with pale orange and yellow extending posteriorly to between the front limbs. A pale line extends from below the eye to just beyond the commissure of the mouth.
