| Reproduction | oviparous |
| Types | Holotype: ZRC 2.3521 (Zoological Reference Collection of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, National University of Singapore) |
| Diagnosis | Diagnosis: A species of the genus Amphiesma, characterized by: (1) a stout body; (2) a moderately large eye (see below); (3) 19 scale rows at midbody, strongly keeled on upper rows, many of which are distinctly notched posteriorly; scales of first dorsal row enlarged, feebly keeled; (4) a single preocular; (5) a broad, dark vertebral band, with irregularly placed dark scales producing faint and irregular, discontinuous crossbars; (6) a faint pale ochre brown dorsolateral stripe bordering the vertebral band on each side, widening to produce three or four irregular blotches on the neck; (7) two distinct postocular streaks (see the description below) and (8) ventral scales purple greyish-brown at their outer border, with a row of well defined dark brown blotches at 3/4 of their width. Especially diagnostic are the combination of the dorsal colour and pattern, the single preocular and the notching of the dorsal scales. These and other characters are detailed below in the discussion. (David & Das 2003) Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data. However, these details, e.g. detailed descriptions (about less than half a page) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us if you need any of this material. |
