I dunno if those are gonna be close enough. I'd say female, but then I'd have to tell you I'm really not sure ;) Hopefully someone w/more experience w/that genus can help out. :)

I'm gonna go with female here. Fairly good distance and "bump" between forward book lungs. Definitely not 100% sure but that's my guess. How big is this spider?
