I bought a rare spider for Russia, Psalmopoeus emeraldus. I can't figure out how it differs from P. pulcher. Could you throw off a photo of your P. emeraldus

Psalmopoeus pulchra is blonde in color and Psalmopoeus emeraldus has a olive brown tint.

So given that Gabriel & Sherwood, 2019b declared Psalmopoeus emeraldus as species inquirenda and Cifuentes & Bertani, 2022: doesn't try to define what Psalmopoeus emeraldus is, stating - "we consider P. emeraldus a valid species until more specimens and information be available to confirm its identity.", how do you differentiate P. pulcher from P. emeraldus? Given that we don't even know what P. emeraldus is
