| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A moderate species with a SVL of 83.8 - 119.4, (mean = 103.26, n = 19), largest specimens (SVL: 119 mm male, 110mm female). Ratio tail length SVL 347.35 (n = 17). Tympanum relatively small, smaller than half diameter of orbit, ratio diameter tympanum diameter orbit: 0.35 - 0.5, n = 19). There are 5 - 6 scales along canthus rostralis between nasal scale and front border of orbit. Upper head scales small, those on the supraorbital region larger. Small gular sac, covered with small, keeled scales. Nuchal crest spines composed of erect flatted scales, as long or little longer than diameter of orbit. Dorsal crest much lower than nuchal crest continuing back to base of tail. Body scales relatively small, keeled in 57 - 76 rows (mean = 60.05, n = 18), 1 - 4 upper dorsal scale rows pointing upwards, 2 - 4 straight backwards, others downwards. Ventrals large, strongly keeled. It can be distinguished from other congeners by the combination of a tympanum with a diameter less than half diameter of orbit, only 2 - 4 upper scales rows pointing upwards, a low dorsal crest. |
