P. putnami
This is an immature P. putnami. Without knowing the body length or having a venter image, it's difficult to be sure of the sex. A male can be distinguished as a male with two molts remaining. In my opinion, it is probably a female. I know that you don't normally collect them, but a shot on the underside (venter) would probably confirm that this is a female.

Thanks
Thanks, Don. I took this last summer and recall that it looked close to full-grown, but my memory may be faulty. I'll edit the original submission to leave the sex undetermined.
