Identification and natural history.
A specimen was found dead on the road leading into the parking lots of
BHRF
on
1 March 2018
. Based on the colour pattern that is still visible, the specimen matched
Tweedie’s (1983)
and Das’s (2015) diagnosis in having reddish-brown or purplish-brown dorsum, dark brown subtriangular marks on each side and pinkish-cream venter.
