Hi Adrian
The guntheri are close, but it still could be Hisonotus leucofrenatus i think.

Hi Stuart
The guntheri are close, but it still could be Hisonotus leucofrenatus i think.
I first thought they may be Hisonotus, but ruled them out because the head seemed more rounded in comparison to Hisonotus sp, also the eyes seemed more near to the top of the head compared to Hisonotus sp.
