CAS types database page, and sex determination for this specimen
The California Academy of Sciences Types Database page for this specimen is here...and large size images (e.g. 2680 x 2008) are accessible from that page.

[That CAS page also indicates this is a female...so I'm editing the male/female check box for this post to female.]
