This species counts with 127
vertebrae. The head, nuchal region and trunk are dorsoventrally compressed, with its body's maximal girth being near the midbody. Its tail is not upturned towards the tip. The animal's head is short, with a length of about . Its eyes are equidistant from the lip and the top of the head, and are surrounded by a narrow whitish ring; its eye diameter approximates 0.6 mm, about the same as its nares', which are slightly anterior to level of the anterior margin of its mouth. Its teeth are slender and recurved, while its tongue is strongly plicate posteriorly. Its
choanae are very narrow, the distance between them being five or six times their greatest width. Denticulations present around its vent are poorly defined. While in preservation, the animal is of a pale lavender grey colour, with browner patches where
stratum corneum is absent. Lateral stripes extending until about the fifth or sixth last
annuli, broaden slightly. Narrow and pale lines are strongly marked along the margins of its lower jaw. In life, its
dorsum is a dark brownish grey, while the
venter is reddish grey, and its narrow lateral stripes a dull-yellow. ==Distribution==
