Thai rainbows?

[MesiTheMillipede]

So when I first got into millipedes I purchased a Thai rainbow millipede called Mali - he fortunately passed away...

I've been searching and searching for Thai rainbows ever since and got sold some from a local store...

Are they just juveniles or are they not Thai rainbows?
I'll upload photos of both - the more colourful one was Mali

Thanks!!

Are you in the US? Mali isn't one of the Thai Rainbows (apeuthes) that we usually see here.

My guess is no;but i've never seen the other Thai rainbow develop (Tonkinbolus)

Beautiful coloration.

Mali was defentely a Tonkinbolus dollfusi. Not sure about the other one... How big is it?

The other guys are around 7 - 9cms at an estimate? The male is a lot smaller however at around 5cms approximately! I also think they're currently mating (sorry for the terrible photo quality) but can anyone confirm this?
Just looking on Google - it looks like Mali was definitely Thai Rainbow, but these guys look like Tonkinbolus caudulanus? Do they have a common name such as Thai Rainbow?
