Gansucha, to separate sex in Villa, pay attention to the separation between the eyes. In males eyes are narrowly separated, in females the separation is wider.

However, this rule doesn't work in 100% of the species. There is a little bunch of species in Europe whose males also have wider separation than usual so one has to be always careful about this feature.
