Type locality. Philippines [no specific locality] .

Distribution. ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ) Philippines: Zambales, Malabayuan River (new locality record); Bataan, Mt. Natib (new locality record); Laguna, Mt. Makiling & Puting Lupa; Quezon Province: Atimonan, Quezon National Park (new locality record), Mt. Banahaw (new locality record); Sorsogon, Irosin (new locality record); Masbate, Aroroy (new locality record); Mindoro (new locality record); Palawan: Puerto Princesa, Port Barton (new locality record), Concepcion, Mt. Ababalnon (new locality record), Coron, Busuanga; Taytay & Quezon (new locality record).

Diagnosis. This species differs from the other species in the bitaeniatus group by its more slender body shape, lighter coloration, a thinner yellow longitudinal band along the body and which is underlined ventrally by a narrow black line, and strong M-shaped sclerotization of ectophallic fold in male genitalia ( Robillard & Tan, 2013).

Habitat. The species lives in shrubs, grasses, at low to average elevations (50–100 m) in open secondary habitats.
