Diagnosis 
CommentSubspecies: Lemos-Espinal et al. 2020 do not mention aemula in their list of reptiles from Morelos, hence they do not appear to recognize it as valid species. 
Etymology“The specific epithet is derived from taenia (a head band) plus the suffix -ata (provided with), evidently in reference to the pale dorsolateral stripes (or possibly the lateral black ones) that extend from the body onto the head” (MYERS, 1974).
