TypesHolotype: QM J 47985 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: “Differs from all other members of the Eulamprus tenuis complex in having the upper secondary temporal overlapped by the lower and 69-74 paravertebral scales. The species also differs from all other members of the E. tenuis complex in having the dorsum uniform brown with contrasting finger-like crossbands from the dark brown to black dorsolateral stripe broken into mid-dorsal bands (holotype) or spots (paratype); other species have the dorsum grey to light brown with a series of dark bands along the paravertebral area or a more general dark mottling (Fig.10). It also seems to differ from other members of the E. tenuis complex in having the subdigital lamellae only lightly pigmented instead of usually heavily pigmented.” (Greer 1992) 
CommentLimb morphology: 5 digits, 5 toes (Singhal et al. 2018, Cogger 2014) 
Etymologynamed after the type locality.
