Doleschall says — '* This is the largest and commonest species of this genus found in 
Amboina, and that their bite is very painful. He was bitten in the finger by one, and 
endured great pain from it, which did not seem always in the one place, for nearly seven 
minutes. One of his collectors, an old man, was bitten by one of them in the band, 
which became immediately greatly swollen."
