Arabesque is a pattern mutation that as of now is determined to be dominant. An arabesque displays lateral striping with connected saddles and usually a ladder tail.

Harlequin I believe is a line of exceptionally colored boas. This line produced a patternless boa, but if I am not mistaken others have yet to be reproduced and the genetics is unknown. HarlequinBoa.com is currently not working for me so hopefully someone can back up or correct my information.
