I think we need to establish whether these white ones are the European luteocincta or the Pacific mitsuii. They are identical to the Pacific form, except with a yellow margin rather than a red one.

A very small juvenile individual.

An individual of the white colour, which is probably an undescribed species.

A typical individual.
