Etymology Not explicitly stated in the original description. The specific epithet lineata is a Latin adjective meaning 'lined', and refers presumably to the dorsal median dark coloured line present on the specimens: "linea dorsuali longitudinaliter ornatum [...] Cette espèce [...] est d'un brunâtre fort pâle. Le pigment brun s'accumule cependant sur la ligne médiane du dos, de manière à constituer une ligne très-apparente" (Claparède, 1870: 458). [details]
