I noticed when I tried searching for references! Hopefully more people can post pics of smaller molts from their confirmed sexed tarantulas to add to the reference library. Still, you'd think a 1,5 inch molt would be big enough to show at least some semblance of spermatheca or uterus externus if there were any. But I might be wrong!

You can look for other specimen of the same species in gallery. One of them really resembles male. Other have some strange flap. This flap does not fully disappear even when I stretch the exuvium, removing the big fold. No sure if it is gonopore...
I always thought that spider with 1,5 cm body length can be easily sexed. But this species makes me really confused. And no pictures to compare. Hope that next molt will clear this.
