How does one distinguish between Persicula tessellata and P. accola?

Are both valid, full species?

The Marginella book shows accola as a form of the variable tessellata
but doesn't describe its distinguishing features.  Most listings on the
WWW show accola as a full species.  Some WWW pictures of "accola" look
essentially identical to others labeled "tessellata."

If any Cystiscidae experts can clarify this mess, I would greatly
appreciate it.
