Good example of why ventral sexing by picture is sketchy.
There is clearly a spermathecae in those first pics and it is exactly what it should look like for the species. Female!

Nice shots of the spider! Pretty!

Can't wait to get mine Today! {sm.}

Looks like Female parts to Me.......But, that coming from a Hobbyist who has Never......Looked at Pokie exuvium that was sexable. However, Compared to the sex organ shedding visual "Differences" in other species.........that does Not look like a smooth flat {Male} surface! :cool:

Well anyways - Very *nice* colors on your Pokie Rusty.

Rusty, forget about that M. lambertoni thread, you're confused because those are an exception and *are* confusing, that's the point of the thread really.

Some species males have 'accessory organs' that look similar to spermathecae but they definitely lack the uterus externus (flap). The flap on many species females is very obvious but not so much on Poec's. That and Poec males don't have 'accessory organs' either.

Read this one right here on arachnoboards and it may clear up a few things...
