Visual difference between teruelius grandidieri and hottentotta gentili?

[DamianGZX]

Hi everyone, i'm new here. Just wanted to ask what are the visual differences between the species above as I'm considering getting new species and afraid that the seller may have mislabeled and advertise one species as the other.
Either google doesn't help much or I'm just too dumb to figure out the differences
Would love to have some info on this. Thanks!

The easiest way to tell is Hottentotta gentili, like all Hottentotta species, has clear ridges running along the carapace and mesosoma (back).
Teruelius/Grosphus grandidieri however, doesn't really have noticable ridges, giving it a much more smooth look. The chelae tend to be slightly bulkier, and the metasoma (tail) slightly thicker and longer compared to H. gentili.

Additionally, the metasoma of H. gentili is densely hirsute (hairy) compared to T. grandidieri. The carinae of the carapace/tergites also have distinct patterns in gentili

Thanks guys, I kinda see it now. Originally i was seeing slight ridges on the back of t. grand specimens too, so I was not too sure on the identification. Thanks to y'all for the help! I'll post an update when I aquire them soon. Thanks!
