The males (QCAZ 52512 and DHMECN 5234) have a gray spot in the middorsal region (Fig. 6). One male presents a dorsal pattern with longitudinal stripes on the dorsum (QCAZ 52480) (Fig. 6). In general, males have more variable dorsal patterns than females. Ventral coloration varies from cream to light brown; from slightly spotted (ZSFQ 1305, QCAZ 52473) to roughly spotted with brown (DHMECN 5236, QCAZ 52474, QCAZ 52212) (Figs 5, 6).
