Hi Thierry
my new E. feruloides stock from Mt. Apo (collected there in April 08) also produced females with white dorsal midline, some had this line with more dots, while others had no line at all.
It seems to me that the female colouration is quite variable. Maybe the genetic pool for that colour variation in the stock that is already in culture became "thinned out".
