Hi,

I had an unusual Melanastoma scalare male where the marks looked more like a female (according to LarsSmile).

This female also has unusual marks I think being a little broader than either M. scalare or mellinum, I only got this one pic on 14th July 2009 near Lincoln UK. Has anyone seen this before?
