I am not aware of any differences in the width of the bands other than for M. macularis. Females of the species serricauda, simplex and obtusa are separated by tiny patches of dark hair that would not be visible in these pictures. Given the difficulty of identification I can only guess at geographical distribution using specimens I have examined and on that basis serricauda is the most likely.
