Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   Appears to have a pale snout and lacks prominent, pale lateral bands - indicating either P. anchietae or P. oxyrhynchus. We'd need a photo of the patterning on the back of the thigh to be able to distinguish between these two species.
