A large, robust (adult L/M = 44) species of Gerrhopilus having the unique combination of a rostrate snout with a transverse keel on the ventral margin of the rostral that extends to the level of the rictus, angle of pre-oral snout in lateral aspect horizontal to the body axis, a distinct pupil in the eye, anterior 30–50% of eye covered by preocular in lateral view, longitudinal scale rows 24/22/22 or 24/22/20, transverse scale rows posterior to the rostral 601–647, supralabial imbrication pattern T-V, subocular scale one, presubocular scale absent, prefrontals and supraoculars larger than frontal and parietals and interparietal, flat or convex posterior margin of the rostral, subcaudal scales 23–25, L/W ratio 55–58, and tail spine oriented ventrally at an angle of 90 ̊ to axis of anteroventral surface of that terminal scale (and, hence, to body axis).

| Etymology | The specific epithet is the name of the oak nymph who became the wife of Orpheus, died from a viper bite, and whom Orpheus unsuccessfully attempted to retrieve from the underworld. It is a proper noun in apposition. |
