The hemipenis is not bilobate, and extends up to seven caudal plates; a prominent sulcus spermaticus runs up to the tip; a sinuous fold is present at about the middle of the organ, and the distal area is covered by somewhat evenly distributed small spines. The new materials divulged a new upper limit of Sc range i.e, 138-163 (sex pooled) vs 138-156 (Vogel &amp; van Rooijen 2011a). However, other morphological characters of the new materials are consistent with the specimens from Assam (Northeast India), Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam (also see Vogel &amp; van Rooijen 2011a).</p><p>GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. — Northeast India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, northern Laos, and northern Vietnam (Vogel &amp; van Rooijen 2011a).

The new materials from Mizoram, Northeast India enlarged the following morphological attributes (values for the lectotype are given in parentheses): Ve 184-207 in males and 183-210 in females (201); DSR at one head length before the vent 11, and rarely nine (11); SLE 4th-6th (5th-6th).</p><p>GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. — India (Darjeeling and Mizoram), the range of distribution is also discussed. In this study, specimens of D. cyanochloris were documented from 10 different localities at elevations between 100-1300 m a.s.l. from Mizoram, Northeast India (Fig. 5; Appendix 1).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E487F3FFF1FFD34EF207BAFE1AF8EB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
