D. Diamantinensis

one of the ladies I picked up yesterday molted as soon as I put her in the her new enclosure :P
Great opportunity - ensure that this spider that was sold to you as a female is indeed a female. I've been sold a "penultimate male" in the past only to have it immediately molt into a mature female.
 
@EulersK so from the old moult?Ok I will do it this way and let the experienced ones to find out!They are all adult size I have them from 3rd moult from April!
 
@Dora Yeah, exuvia is the term for an old molt. That spider is certainly large enough to get a proper sexing from. Remember, we only need the area between the first set of book lungs. Don't post a picture of the whole exuvia - focus on that small area.
