G.pulchra , leg size 2.5 cm , its spermatheca?
i can't tell them apart from the male accessory glands at that size

in this old paper (Hancock, K. & Hancock, J. (1989). Sex determination of immature theraphosid spiders from their cast skins. Published by the authors, Southminster, England, 61 pp) some male and female sexual organs are illustrated, the male accessory glands can sometimes be mistaken for spermathecae in very young spiders, so i wouldnt guess ether way with this picture

you can download the pdf for free if you make an account there

edit: not sure if G. pulchra has male accessory glands...
