 The overlapped portions of the scales, especially in the anterior part, 

 are bright blue as in Dendrop/iis pietus. The head is bronze-brown 

 above with a black loreal streak, continued through the temporals to the 

 forebody where it fades, and is lost. Lips creamy white, the upper 

 tinged greenish posteriorly. Maxillary teeth about 21, the posterior not 

 enlarged. In colour the snake is extremely like Dendrophis pietus in 

 every detail. 



It appears to me to be most like I), candolineolatus, from which it 

 differs in having two loreals, three labials touching the eye, and in 

 the excessive number of ventrals and subcaudals.
