; however, for comparison, Edwards described the head of this subspecies as having “a median line of long and rather wide white lanceolate scales on vertex, continued forwards between eyes and around eye-margins; white upright scales in centre of nape [occiput]; a large patch of black scales on either side of middle line of vertex.” It is uncertain but the median line of white scales and lateral patches of black scales described by Edwards probably correspond with the white and black spots described by
