DiagnosisUnfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers.

CommentSynonymy: Brown 1980 listed Siaphos (= Cophoscincus) infralineolatum — TAYLOR 1922 as a synonym, but more recent authors treat it as valid.

The original type series consisted of only 3 specimens, therefore at least one of the putative syntypes doesn’t have type status (fide BAUER et al. 1995).

Distribution: Populations of L. quadrivittata from Borneo have been described as L. inexpectata by DAS & AUSTIN (2007). Reports from India may be in error. 
EtymologyNamed after Latin quadri = four + Latin “vittatus” for ribbon, for the four black dorsal stripes.
