Type locality: Dunoon, Demerara River, Guyana.  
Reproductionoviparous 
TypesHolotype: UMMZ 46770 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Leposoma with a very large interparietal, with diverging lateral margins. Supralabials followed by a scale distinctly larger than adjacent temporals. Suture between prefrontals long, between frontoparietals shorter. Fourth pair of chinshields moderately large. Dorsals mostly from hexagonal (wider posteriorly) middorsally, to phylloid toward flanks; 30-35 (32.6 ± 1.2) along a middorsal row. Ventrals 19-25 (21.7 ± 1.0) along a midventral row. Scales around midbody 23-26 (23.8 ± 0.8). Flanks usually slightly darker than back, but not forming a distinct dark lateral band; an upper dark stripe may be present (Avila-Pires 1995).
