-tor, -trix
bellatrix? agitatrix

Neuter plural forms such as victrīcia are attested in all cases, not only in the nominative/accusative plural. The feminine ablative singular may end in -trīcī or -trīce and the feminine/neuter genitive plural may end in -trīcium (-trīcum seems rarer and may be only attested as a feminine form, but I'm not sure).

Are forms in -tor never attested in the feminine or neuter? Wackernagel (trans. and edited Langlow) says "Although the Latin suffix -trīx is known as early as Plautus as the fem. form of -tor, the form auctor alone is used also of women, especially in the phrase auctor sum (e.g. Plaut. Stichus 129, pl.). The meaning of auctor, ‘strengthener’, ‘guarantor’ (from augeo in the sense ‘give power’), originally did not admit a female referent, and so the word was left in its masculine form, even when used of a woman, and merely given fem. gender (e.g. Ovid, Fasti 5. 192 optima tu proprii nominis auctor eris ‘you (Flora) will be the best guarantor of your own name’). Only late on did writers venture auctrix (first in Tertullian), which did not achieve widespread currency"

Nichols 1919 mentions use of "auctor" for a woman in Plautus, At enim nōs, quārum rēs agitur, aliter auctōrēs sumus. "But still, we, whose interests are concerned, are advising you quite otherwise. "

Gaius Sallustius Crispus, Bellum Iugurthinum 55.1.3 telli rebus, ut seque et exercitum more maiorum gereret, in advorso loco victor tamen virtute fuisset,

Interim Romae gaudium ingens ortum cognitis Metelli rebus, ut seque et exercitum more maiorum gereret, in advorso loco victor tamen virtute fuisset, hostium agro potiretur, Iugurtham magnificum ex Albini socordia spem salutis in solitudine aut fuga coegisset habere.

Meanwhile, tremendous joy had arisen at Rome over the news of Metellus’ exploits, how he was conducting himself and his army in the time-honored way, how he had been victorious as a result of valor, despite being in an unfavorable position, and how he was in control of the enemy’s territory and had compelled Jugurtha, who had been made insolent by Albinus’ ineptitude, to place his hope of safety on flight in the wilderness.
