Could you please give me a reference for the article and the definition he gave or the reason he gives for calling them harlequins.
I don't have the reference, but the reason for calling them harlequins seems self explanatory. Among other things, harlequin refers to patches of solid color on a contrasting background. Compare the color pattern of a Harlequin phal with that of a harlequin dog (e.g. some great danes).
