I did more research and it looks like apophysis has stridulating setae on the coxa of legs 1 and/or 2... I plan to do more research today and then get a better look at her. She definitely has a few setae on the patellas, so I guess that confirms it's not stirmi.

No presidential connections needed, by the way. An importer in FL has them - I got mine drop shipped from ReptilesnCritters - $100. Just note the shape she's in. She's eaten now and mostly re-hydrated. I'm also not totally sold on gender... I'm guessing they just grabbed whichever one was closest.
