The body has four dark-brown cross bands: — the first behind the eye; the second 
over the middle of the back, interrupted at the pectoral, and continued below it 
towards the belly, the two portions forming nearly a right angle ; the third from the 
base of the dorsal and before it towards the belly ; the fourth on the upper part of the 
tail. These bands are marked with indistinct, bluish streaks, and have deep-brown 
spots ; the interstices between them have numerous brown ocelli ; none, however, occur 
on the belly. Caudal yellow, with dark upper and lower margins, and a few brown 
ocelli on the base.
