P. nigriceps is easily distinguished from others in Pareas by the large, black oval on the top of its head, as well as the two rounded black spots on each side of the head. The head spots are separated from the nuchal band.[3]
Etymologyedit
The species name nigriceps refers to the large black spot on top of the head.[3]
