Hi,

Unfortunately not. Best to keep it on spec. I think. It's best to determine them to species level based on the male genitalia.

Great! If you extract the male genitalia we might be able to get them to species level. It does look like the eyes are devoid of the two vertical hairbands. Can you check if that's correct?
