Peters did not give any locality for his species, nor did he explicitly indicate the extent of his type series or its provenance or repository. Although he states at the end of the description that he found additional specimens of the species in collections sent to him by Prof. Flower of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, it is clear from the single set of scale counts and the asymmetry reported in supralabial scales (seven left, six right) that he described his species from only a single specimen. A single specimen (ZMB 8193;

The mouths of both R4142 and D2087 have been opened subsequent to preservation, in the former case by fracturing the mandibles, in the latter by transecting the adductor musculature, and the palatal mucosa has been stripped back, allowing access to the palatal elements. Both specimens are similar in coloration and in position and condition of preservation. The measurements and scalation of D2087 are very close to those presented by
