Plzen Zoo, april 2023.

Both were kept and both signed, but the signage was put up in a way that didn't make it clear which sign referred to which enclosure.
@ralph The butterfly-like spots on the back of the animal. It's like two circles that touch each other. This pattern is absent in S. kateae
 
Ok, the other Saltarius was a no-show, so I couldn't compare them in real life, therefor I had to base my guess on internet images. I saw some pretty similar patterns on a few of the photo's that show up in my search results when I search for S. kateae. On further inspection, only the first few pictures are actually of S. kateae, while the remainder of the search results are just of the genus. I guess only a couple of photo's of this species excists online.
 
@ralph There are several breeders of this species. You can find a lot more pictures on other platforms than Google.
