From the Reise der österreichischen Fregatte Novara [...] Zoologischer Theil, 1. Band: Wirbelthiere, F. Steindachner, "Reptilien":

"Upper part of the body brown, back with a central yellow band and a lateral yellow paired band, bordered on the sides by a sharp line or longitudinal row of black spots. Sometimes there are narrow, irregular transverse bands on the back, formed by small black spots. The sides of the body are blackish brown and decorated in greater or lesser numbers with light, round spots, surrounded more or less completely by a black ring, or spotted with black at the edges. A black and light yellow line below the lower edge of the area. Sometimes the yellow median line of the back is missing.
This species is closely related to Euprepes monticola Günth., but differs from the latter in a very characteristic way by the presence of a transparent disc on the lower eyelid.
