Thanks! Hopefully there's someone out there with a female that's ready to go and sees this... Most females I've seen pics of seem like they are much more dark blue/purple with pink and orange highlights. This genus is a mess, though, and there is confusion about whether the D. rufoniger in the hobby is the same as the D. rufoniger that has been described. The consensus seems to be that they are indeed a different species, but as far as I know there has not been any research done to prove this. I bought this guy as D. rufoniger, so that's what he'll be as far as I'm concerned. I haven't seen females in person, but @Arachnid Addicted has some pics of a female in this gallery:
