Type locality: see comments.  
Reproductionovovivparous 
TypesNeotype: BMNH 1946.1.16.5 (formerly BMNH 1930.6.2.3). The original holotype at ZRC is now lost (Figueroa & Low 2021). 
DiagnosisColoration in life. “Above: Black with iridescent sheen, head and tail red, and two longitudinal bands on each side of the middle line red. Beneath: White blotched heavily with black, constituting from 30 to 35 irregular transverse bands: the under surface of the tail is immaculate white.” (Shelford 1901: 56) 
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.
