Dorsals and ventrals with black edges, more visible on the posterior part of the belly. Predominantly yellowish or whitish supralabials, except for the last two or three, which may present the same dorsal or postocular stripe color. Infralabials and gular region mostly yellowish or whitish; the first third of the belly (can also be whitish) and subcaudals yellowish or brownish yellow; the remainder of the belly whitish yellow or brownish yellow. For most specimens, the outer margins of subcaudals have a black outline and subcaudals have black edges.</paragraph>

The description is based on the fully everted and maximally expanded left organs of the specimens MCP 17282, MHNCI 12369, UFMT 1600, partially expanded organ of the specimen MHNCI 1529, and non-maximally expanded organs of the specimens MHNCI 7134, ZVC 2041, ZVC 3681; and on the fully everted and maximally expanded right organ of the specimen MCP 2423, and partially expanded organs of the specimens MCN 3144, MCN 14090. Retracted organs extend to the level of the twelfth subcaudal (n = 3). Hemipenis unilobed, unicalyculate, noncapitate, subcylindrical shape, with a simple sulcus spermaticus, running centripetally from the base to the apex (MCN 3144) or slightly more than half of the hemipenis (MHNCI 12369, UFMT 1600); no nude area on the apex, ornamented with papillate calyces in the sulcate side and with spinulate calyces in the middle of the asulcate side; hemipenis eventually showing calyces with few papillae on the apex and medial region (MHNCI 12369, UFMT 1600); each longitudinal row presenting 24-27 calyces; calyces towards hemipenial body replaced by spinulate calyces; hemipenial body with approximately more than half of the total length of the organ, and is covered in spines that gradually increase in size towards the base, reaching maximum size at just over half of the hemipenial body; with each longitudinal row presenting 14-19 spines and 5-6 spines along the sulcus spermaticus; base mostly nude, ornamented by spinules at the upper portion and also laterally distributed on the proximal region of the sulcus spermaticus; a basal naked pocket present on the medial region.</paragraph>
