This is a male. Compare eyes.
This is a male. Compare eyes. Eyes are somewhat parallel before widening and not so widely spaced as the female which is posted below. Female eyes widening from base and not somewhat parallel. See added female image below.
See also male genitalia on underside image above.





See two appendages at tip of abdomen in zoomed image of female.
