Text Appearing Before Image: G. F. GOW DESCRIPTION OF HOLOTYPE A large boid snake with a strongly prehensile tail. Scales without apical pits and without granular gular scales bordering the mental groove. Rostral visible from above, slightly broader than long, with a pair of deep slit-like sensory pits. Supralabials 15, the seventh and eighth on the left side and the seventh, eighth and ninth on the right entering the eye. First three supralabials with deep sensory pits; pit of first supralabial a long diagonal slit broadening dor sally and contacting ventral edge of the nasal. The slit of the second supralabial almost contacts ventral edge of nasal; third supralabial slit is distinct but shorter and broader than first two. Fourth supralabial without a distinct slit but an obscure elongate mark is present. Infralabials 24, six of the more posterior infralabials with deep rectangular pits. The row of infralabial pits begins beneath the eye and is sunk in a longitudinal groove. The row is preceded by an infralabial with a shallower pit. One pair of prefrontals is present, each almost twice as long as broad. Internasals preceded by a pair of small scutes. The posterior prefrontal area, extending to the anterior frontals and supraoculars, consists of 22 subequal scales. Text Appearing After Image: Fig. 1.
