Are you referring the ventral white banding? If so I have never heard of that. Truly I don't believe it is true. From what I remember the male has the white banding also, so I have always seen them on the females and on the males. Probably some people bought fasciata thinking it was regalis and I can see than why they thought their male had no white banding.
