Comment	The 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).
Etymology	Named after Latin “linea”, meaning stripe or line.
