P. auratus - Cuban Bronze - 34mm (1.3") DLS Male

I'd lean towards male as well. I would imagine the spermatheca to be bigger at 1.5", but I could be wrong. Keep checking the molts! :happy:

Interesting. I'd heard this genus were slow to develop but I guess I was misinformed. Thanks for the correction.

Probably means my Dominican Purple is a male as well then.
