Could be a mature male. Not familiar with the species. Do you have a molt on hand?

Může to být zralý muž. Není obeznámen s druhem. Máte po ruce mmo

The molt was completely destroyed. I tried to moisten it, but important part were very torn. This species has tibial hook, right? And I dont sebe any. But right now I can't see front legs, because the spider is in corner and posture Is not good.

I went to Instagram to go find pictures of that particular species, I did not see any tibial hooks on the pictures I found. They are sexually dimorphic. Your specimen has to be a MM.

When a Pamphobeteus suddenly turns from brown to purple then you can usually bet the house on it being male. I suspect in this case a quick look at the pedipalps will tell us all we need to know.
