Examination of the exuvia is actually considered the best way to sex most species, and to sex females you look for the uterus externus and spermanthica. i believe i see the spermanthica but i like reassurances from more experienced folks.
@LurkingUnderground The presence of emboli (on the palps) and hooks (for those species that get them) only identifies mature males. Females and immature males can look very similar, sometimes requiring examination of the molt to know for sure.
