Hi Hakon
Might be D.saundersi going by this one in the late Steve Hopkin's site...

Looking at the markings on the back, I think you are (more) correct.

I see you have found the difference, this link explains the distinctive pattern on the back end of D. saundersi which to me looks like a television antenna.
