TypesHolotype. ZMMU R-13171, collected by R.A. Nazarov, D.A. Bondarenko & M. Rajabizadeh, 09 May 2010.
Paratypes. Five males (ZMMU R-15624–15626, R-15628, and R-15630) and four females (ZMMU R-15627, R-15629, R-15631, and R-12986) with the same data as holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Maximum SVL 58.3 mm, TL about two times longer than the body (max. 118 mm). Supraocular plates (preocular and postocular scales) usually separated from frontal and frontoparietal plates by small granular scales; fifth inframaxilare not in contact with infralabial plates. The collar scales are not strongly distinct from surrounding gular scales and usually only five collar scales are larger than the others. The body scales are relatively small, about 60 (54–65) scales around middle of the body (Sq); 15–18 well developed femoral pores on the left and right sides, separated from each other by 4–6 scales; series of femoral pores not reaching the knee bend by 3–4 scales.

Comment 
EtymologyNamed after Greek graphikos, meaning “drawn” or “written,” because the dorsal pattern resembles artificial hieroglyphs.
