P. beckeri is said to be slightly larger than fumosa, but the distinction ("approximately 5mm" vs. "usually less than 4mm" ) is marginal. The colour of the dorsum is more reliable, I think. (beckeri - grayish blue to light brown, dull; fumosa - darker, bluish-olive green to greenish-gray; subshining dorsally)
