Huh? At this size, the accessory organs in males would be fairly visible and recognizable.
This is a female,you just need to unfold that spermatheca a bit

Ok, I think I found a flap but may have torn it, also I’ve been told from ventral sexing that it’s female

Yep, this is for sure a female! The long brown/deep red part between the upper two book lungs is the Spermatheca, an organ that females have.

This one is a great example of male accessory organs! Instead of the brown flap your specimen has, a male will be "flat" in that area with two "nipples"

Tlitocatl vagans fresh molt - about 2 1/2"

Sub-adult female?
