They look like Schwartziis to me. Maybe they are a possibility?

I think it still falls into C. loxozonus, they are known to be quite variable on colour pattern from a very broad black band to almost no band at all.

thanks ian, they do have a faint black band on them still. maybe we need to send some across the pond for you to view. thanks again and look forward to seeing you again this fall at the convention.
