Males have slightly distinguished femoral pores (a 5 shaped row of dots pointing away from the tail), and have hemipenile bulges (at the base of the tail). In females it takes a good magnifying glass to see pores and any sort of bulge is not present. Males also have larger heads.

I meant to type a "V" shaped row. Not a "5" shaped row. Ha!
Sorry.
