P.ornata 3+"

I don't have a good idea on this one. What do you all think?
Eh, that's rough. I'm looking for spermatheca, but I'm just not seeing it. But at the same time, I'm not sure what that single nub at the top is. Regardless, I'd guess male.

Doesn't this species display sexual dimorphism, though? That dot between the first set of book lungs.
 
Thanks for the information guys. I'll have to wait till it comes out of it's hide before I can get a top side photo to compare to the thread.
 
So I got a photo of it that turned out pretty good. I had to use my phone camera. To me it looks female but maybe that's my rose colored glasses at work. :D
What do you think?
 
It turns out this is a male as was suspected from the beginning. Thanks for the input guys.
