DiagnosisDiagnosis: "A species of subgenus Eremias (subocular bordering mouth, only one frontonasal, two supraoculars, femoral pore series separated by a very short space and reach the knee ...). It differs from all other known species by several [3-5 (8)] smaller shields situated laterally and posterior to each fourth submaxillary shield, instead of a distinct individual fifth submaxillary. The fifth [sic; fourth] submaxillary is exceptionally well developed and the smaller shields are located laterally and posteriorly to it. The smaller shields can also surround the fourth submaxillary and together with it border the third submaxillary. Higher rate of separation of fourth (41.7%) and third (16.7%) submaxillary shields from lower labials, as consequence of above described arrangement of the chin shields, is another characteristic feature ofthe new species ..."
