There is usually a very fine dark median line, bordered on either side by a narrow band of ground colour, external to which is usually paired slightly broader lateral stripes, each of which is bordered by an interval of ground colour, external to which are paired outermost brownish marginal stripes. Ventral surface white. Living specimens up to 100 mm long. A species characteristic of relatively dry habitats.
