Pamphobeteus sp. Machala 2.5" with magnification 2/2
It looks male. This example of the same species just slightly larger (7cm = 2.75") clearly shows unmistakable spermathecae, which aren't there on yours:
 
So I pulled this molt back out when I was looking at the P. Irminia that just molted, and it is now clearly female and it's my photography skills that are the problem. I think the piece in focus here is the uterus externus and the spermatheca are both hidden in the wetness/glare.
