| Distribution | Australia (NW Queensland) Type locality: Mt Isa district, Queensland |
| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: AMS (AM) R64867, collected by D. Stammer. |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A small, very slender Demansia (SVL up to 510 mm) with very long tail (subcaudals up to 115) and a bold black and yellow head pattern, including yellow postocular bar separated from broad anterior yellow nuchal band, and a second prominent black nuchal band posterior to a prominent posterior yellow nuchal band, but lacking obvious dark markings on anterior ventrals. |
| Comment | Synonymy: Prior to its description, D. flagellatio was illustrated by Stammer (in Horton 1976) and Cogger (1975), who both referred the species, either implicitly or explicitly, to D. torquata. Venomous! |
| Etymology | No etymology for the name was provided by Wells & Wellington (1985). “Flagellatio” is presumably an abstract noun formed from the Latin verb lagellare (to whip), with the sense of “a whipping”. |
