3384775 and 3869360 are females, see the different palpi compared to the other records which are males.

3871641, 382394, and 22773 all seem to have big palps like 3384775 and 3869360.
Are they females too?
3868688, 3868711, 3869191, 3768885, 3360803, and 3360803 seem to have smaller palps.
Are they males or is that a trick of light and the angles?

OK, I didn't look well enough at the others. 3871641 is obviously another female, and maybe 3768885. The others look more like males to me, but the photos don't show all and can be interpreted in different ways. The main white patch is more extensive in the females.

I had noticed the differences in palpi size and the larger wihite patch in this one, but this species is not often caught well on camera.
