Unless it is papilliferus, (sp?) which is what I think I kept for years, thinking I had whitei.
I had a strain from Germany, that I got in the early '90s at a West Coast Weekend. It was a deep red, maroon color, with a more elongated shape than the Barra de Sao Joao strain brought in later by Cal Him and the SA Annuals group of the KCC. Those had a wider-flaring dorsal, but were otherwise a somewhat less-colorful version of the originals that I called the "DKG Reds." Both were pretty similar, and color and shape were the only differences that I recall.
I'm currently looking for the original type, and I suspect I must now seek something other than whitei.
