Not really. Many, very similar species that can only be identified on the basis of male genitalia. Maybe Steve gaimari can help out a little...

Paul is right - these things are unidentifiable without genitalic dissection. I'm afraid I can be of no further help but to say that it is one of the species with spots on the abdomen! (as opposed to none or full bands).
