Granular scales in axilla, extending over arm onto neck to posterior edge of the scapular fold. Scales on outer rows of dorsolateral stripes have raised trailing edge in some individuals, particularly over shoulder, giving moderate demarcation between dorsal and lateral surfaces.

| Comment | Synonymy: Listed as synonym of D. magna by Storr 1983 but recently “rediscovered” by genetics (the NK population in Smith et al. 2011, Paul Doughty, pers. comm. 2 Apr 2014). Not listed by COGGER 2000, nor COGGER 2014. Distribution: has been (erroneously?) reported from Queensland and the Northern Territory (e.g. in COGGER et al. 1983). For a map see Melville et al. 2019: 41 (Fig. 14). |
| Etymology | Named after Margaret Butler, wife of Mr W.H. Butler who collected the holotype and much of the other material studied in this paper. |
