I found L. curviceps much more mild than L. dorsigera, with L. araguaiae in the middle of the two, but leaning closer to L. dorsigera. While not as territorial as L. thayeri, I still found quite a notable difference between L. dorsigera and L. curviceps.
I am speaking specifically to a pair in...
See in some of your pics there does look like orange around the dorsal ocelli ... but that could be the lighting, which is why I didn't give a more definite answer.
