I can't tell from this picture. The spermatheca needs to be photographed flat without the uterus externus in front of it if in dorsal view, or the spermatheca completely removed from a molt and photographed from ventral view.
Well, as far as I can see, spermatheca would match with Acanthoscurria, but the pic is not that great, that I'd go for a 100% call.
If u want to determine wether its Acanthoscurria sp. or not, look also for a retrolateral scopula at Femur IV. In Acanthoscurria sp. this should be present (note: Acanthoscurria spp. aren't the only species showing this feature, it's also present in Cyrtopholis, Megaphobema, Lasiodora and some more genera)
Do you have a picture of the actual spider? Would help to rule some species out
@AracKnight thank you for the reply. I was going to take another pic of the spermatheca but it fell apart unfortunately. I posted pics of the spider previously in this section. Image 0681 and 0682. I tried to attach this pic to the previous but it wouldn't let me. Thank you for the help. Maybe you would be so kind as to look at the previous pics and tell me what you think.
Looking at the picture of the spider, I'm quite sure that it's an Acanthoscurria sp.
Lasiodorides is ruled out by the shape of the spermatheca, same goes for any other genus I can think of to be considered here.
