Acanthoscurria geniculata molt
What makes you say so? Those nubs aren’t female spermatheca?
Those are the male accessory organs.
A.geniculata's spermatheca look like a gummy bear head :lol: , while this is exactly how male accessory organs,gonopore, looks like. And the specimen looks decently sized, so the spermathecae would be obvious in size and shape if it was a female

Interesting, thank you! Without having a female for comparison I would’ve thought otherwise from this one
