Pamphobeteus sp platyomma
Another female. You're on a roll... although that doesn't look like the Pamphobeteus sp. "Platyomma" spermatheca I've seen. The 'antennae' are usually set further apart, and the base is usually a bit wider. What's the size of this specimen?
 
@EulersK roughly 3 in. I bought her from Fear Not Tarantulas in March I believe. That's why I was guessing male. I could see the outline of the spermathacae, but it looked flat to me and didn't look like any P platyomma genitalia I'd seen. Any other guesses as to the species?
 
The flap that I'm looking at is quite large, you should be able to even grab it with tweezers. Or is that just a trick of the camera?
 
@EulersK I asked a second opinion on my instagram, and someone told me that if she is female, she might be machalla instead of platyomma. I looked up their spermathaca and it looks like that could be it.
