Described in 1839, this species is potentially relatively large at up to 34 cm, with alternating light and dark stripes along its back and a paler belly. Unfortunately no other specific information could be uncovered or translated.

 

Habitat: Unknown.

 

Prey: unknown, likely small soft-bodied invertebrates.

 

Lifespan and reproduction: lifespan unknown, likely under 10 years. Opviparous.
