Supraciliary scales smooth. Nuchal and dorsal crests absent. Ear opening as large as the eye, tympanum superficial and exposed. Tufts of long, spinose scales around the ear and the sides of the neck lacking. Single, short, conical scales close to the border of the ear opening are present. Body scales small, heterogeneous, keeled, and nonmucronate, in 70–85 scale rows around midbody. Enlarged body scales irregularly intermixed on the lateral regions of the body. Vertebral scales 30–46. Gular and ventral scales strongly keeled, ventrals about the same size as the dorsal scales. Hind limbs relatively long, reaching the tympanum. Lamellae 13–14 under fourth toe.
