Most of the whitish spots are not edged with dark brown color. The dark cinnamon brown spots predominate on flanks where they form a characteristic longitudinal lateral row that continues onto the tail. Ventral side bright white, sharply contrasting with the coloration of the dorsum.

In alcohol, dorsum light brown with a pattern of small whitish and larger dark brown spots. Most of the whitish spots are not edged with dark brown color. The spots are arranged in more or less regular longitudinal rows. The dark brown spots predominate on flanks where they form a longitudinal lateral row that continues onto the tail. The lateral row of large brown spots is bordered by a dorsolateral row of small whitish spots and a narrow inconspicuous whitish ventrolateral line. Ventral side white.
