What's difference between UntypedActor and ReceiveActor in Akka.Net?

Question

I'm trying to find differences between UntypedActor and ReceiveActor. I read documents for both,

https://getakka.net/articles/actors/untyped-actor-api.html

https://getakka.net/articles/actors/receive-actor-api.html

but it seems both provide almost the same features. how do I select? where should I use them?

with more research, found that ReceiveActor inherits UntypedActor, and within it, I can declare specific methods to handle without putting everything into OnReceive method, using Receive()
