For detailed info on the ID here, see my comment under 2nd image in this series.

 
Gender?
You didn't mention the gender, but I think that the extra bulge on the ventral-center of the abdomen, indicates that this is a female.
Is this determination correct (reliable) and do you have any other points of the anatomy that can help us to define the genders, in this family? Thanks for all of the help with these IDs!
