Rostral in dorsal view like a narrow oval, longer than broad, not reaching interocular level, with parallel to curved sides and rounded apex, with an anterior constriction at nostril level continued by a strong tapering toward anterior tip; broad rostral with a posterior constriction in ventral view, posterior constriction nears the mouth. Nasal divided (nasal suture complete) with shallow concavity in posterior margin; broad nostrils, visible in dorsal view and closer to preocular border than rostral border; superior nasal suture short and nostrils obliquely oriented (70º angle approximately) to the body longitudinal axis in lateral view; inferior nasal suture pronounced curved and contacting the midpoint of second supralabial; nasalpreocular suture contacting the anterior third of third supralabial; preocularocular suture coincident with thirdfourth supralabial suture; weakly divergent postnasal pattern. Single subtriangular preocular, almost as broad as high, with a small notch in posterodorsal margin, anterior apex strongly rounded, strongly sinuous preocularocular suture, and contacting the third supralabial only. Polygonal ocular, higher than broad; black eye, fitting into preocular notch, and distant of the snout; two postoculars between parietal and fourth supralabial, superior postocular broader than inferior postocular; postoculars in cycloid shape, and in broader contact with ocular than superior supraocular. Frontal, postfrontal, and supraocular in similar size, obliquely oriented (75º angle approximately) to the head midline. Single parietal and occipital on each side; parietals wider than occipitals, parietals slightly wider than long, and both scales are oriented obliquely (80º angle approximately) to the head midline. Interparietal, interoccipital, and nuchal scales with similar size, wider than frontal, postfrontal, and supraocular.
