Blue pigment is widely distributed over the body; also present on the legs reaching the femurs, absent from the tibiotarsi. Blue pigment also present on the manubrium and on the proximal part of the dens. The living specimens show three whitish­iridescent bands over a dark blue background (

B). This colour pattern seems to be due to the different distribution and shape of the scales: in fact, in the whitish iridescent bands are hyaline and adherent to the cuticle, while on the rest of the body, showing a blue pigment, the scales are brown, with quadrangular shape and they never adhere to the sclerites. The whitish­iridescent effect disappears in the specimens preserved in liquid fixative, as already observed in others taxa by Gisin and da
