It doesn't have the blue body coloring,
or the blue tubercles on A8 we have seen in Phyllodesma, and the colored intersegmental area looks different. It does have tubercles on T3 right in front of colored area, so we still feel this is one of the western Tolype, not velleda, but we are not sure which one.

That black and orange band
and those tubercles make us think genus Artace or maybe Tolype. Need to find some more images online to check.
