Yes, there are three different locale bloodlines in the hobby that are all a bit different.....Amealco, Tapalpa, and Jalpan, Mexico.

Here is a Jalpan ruthveni. Note the way the light inner rings flair out at the base just as yours does. Yours is cleaner than most of this particular locale, so it could possibly be a combination of two ruthveni locale bloodlines, The Jalpan and Tapalpa...hard to say with absolute certainty.

Here is an F-5 geration Tapalpa ruthveni my good friend works with. He also works with all the other types as well. The Amealco is the striped and amel phenotypes seen in the hobby.
