Description As the colour pattern is important here is Delle Chiaje (1841: 95) colour description: "body rosy brindle with oval reddish spots, cerulescent down with double median row of reddish spots; head red-irid" It is difficult to interpret that description, however, Salazar-Vallejo (2018: 306) rewrites it as "Body banded as a tiger with oval reddish spots, pale grayish with double medial reddish series,
head iridescent red…" and also describes colour patterns he observed in specimens and figures them in figures 50-51. These are not fresh specimens. [details]

Subsequently in 1841 in another work a description was given and much better figures were published (Delle Chiaje, 1841: volume 3 p.95, plates volume plate 103 figures 2-5) as well as a republication of the 1830 plate (figure 24) as plate 155 [details]
