Underside of the hemipenal bulge of tail base bearing approximately 30 rows of small postcloacal scales, followed by approxi- mately five rows of slightly enlarged, rectangular subcaudals followed by transversely expanded subcaudals. 
CommentAbundance: only known from its original description (Meiri et al. 2017). 
EtymologyThe specific epithet is used as a noun in apposition, originating from the specific Indonesian pattern of traditional “batik” cloth that is especially well known on Java. The dorsal pattern of the new species is similar to that of traditional batik cloth.
