Male?
Is this a male, with a thin abdominal shape and the tip of a long pecten showing in the second image, under the third leg? Can a female's pecten extend that far out? Thanks for helping!

Female pectines in spinigerus
Female pectines in spinigerus are long, and can extend beyond the body slightly or be visible. This individual is a juvenile, so I can't say for sure without seeing the shape of the pectines at the base.
