TypesNeotype: BMNH 1946.1.16.5 (formerly BMNH 1930.6.2.3). The original holotype at ZRC is now lost (Figueroa & Low 2021). 
DiagnosisAdditional details, e.g. a detailed description or comparisons (877 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentThe type locality was given erroneously as “Singapore” by BLANFORD (1881) according to STUEBING (1991: 327).

Authorship: Usually, Blanford 1881 is given as author. However, Figueroa & Low 2021 argue that Dennys 1880 is the describer of this species.

Conservation: known from only eight museum specimens (Figueroa & Low 2021). 
EtymologyNamed after Latin “linea”, meaning stripe or line.
