A.agassizii "Netz"?

[HaakonH]

I recently received some Apistos from an exporter in Manaus, Brazil. Most of the batch appears to be A.gephyra, but among them I think I see two, a male and a female, that stands out from the rest. Could they be A.agassizi "Netz"?

Here's the male:

Here he is compared to a gephyra next to him:

Here's the female. I noticed her due to the glowing line underneath the lateral band, which is not as apparent in the gephyra females, which also have slightly different black markings:

Gephyra female for comparison:

To me it looks like A. cf. agassizii (Netz) from the Rio Negro. The net-like pattern is less distinct on populations in the western part of its range (Trombetas to Negro).
