DiagnosisDiagnosis: “Large scales of the dermal lobe on the side of the head equal to, or slightly smaller than, the largest abdominal scales; back with from 10 to 12 irregular longitudinal rows of flat round tubercles; tail with a narrow unsegmented terminal flap, no wider than the nearest lobes, slightly notched behind; annulations on the tail marked by lateral lobes directed somewhat backward, and a series of 4 or more enlarged scales above, much larger than the scales on the lateral lobes.” (Taylor 1915: 94)
