The usual characters are the colour of the pale scales (yellowish or whitish) and the length of the pale band on the hind metatarsus (1/3 or 1/2 - I regularly measure 5/12!).
Other characters are difficult to see in photos, and with specimens, they need to be in good condition. The males are more easily separated using genitalia characters.
