Hi folks, I seem to have mixed up a bitaeniata and mendezi female....

Would anyone have a definitive way of telling the both of them apart?

Bitaeniata females should show up 2 distinct lateral lines, while mendenzi consist of 4.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Lee. The extra horizontal lines are what I should be looking for.
