I've been looking to see if Sicarius spiders have Spermathace or not as female. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this?
Does any one have pictures of the Spermathace In a Sicarius terrosus species if there's even one.

Yes, females of Sicarius species have spermathecae. The majority of all female spiders from both Mygalomorphae and Araneomorphae have this organ. The only picture I could find of the spermatheca of Sicarius terrosus is an illustration from the following publication which can be downloaded from the World Spider Catalog.
