Besides a typical specimen, there is in the British Museum 

 a second specimen apparently belonging to the same species : 

 although fully adult, it has the head rather paler green ; the 

 dimensions are a little smaller ; it is labelled as from Manilla, but 

 there is no collector's name to corroborate the statement.
