Judging by Garrus's banter there is definite dimorphism in the species.
For once, I fully support BioWare going lazy on this issue. That is, disclosing in ME3, that we've already encountered female Turians on multiple occasions and just couldn't tell the difference because there is no significant dimorphism.
Because only this approach can be consitent with the Mass Effect lore, which has already suffered greatly in ME2.
If you read into the Codex about the Turians, you's understand that there is little to no social discrimination between the genders in the Turian society. Therefore the females are supposed to hold pretty much the same social roles, positions in life, jobs... And Shepard was just bound to run into some of female Turian C-Sec officers, mercs, bystnaders...
Salarian females we never see because they all dwell on the Salarian core worlds and have just two occupations: reproduction and political leadership. That's where definite gender dimorphism is to be found.
Krogan females are not that different from males by appearence, as suggested by the shape of the dead Krogan female we encounter on Mordin's loyalty mission, by their social role, defined by the genophage, prohibits them from leaving their camps. But it is not so strict as with the Salarians, so there may be exceptions. But if we encounter a krogan female in ME3, there must be a damn good plot reason for that.
On another note, I support a female Turian spectre as squadmate in Mass Effect 3!
Li the tech guy you meet on Noveria was female originally, but the devs dropped the whole female Turains looking alike. They also said they didn't.
Also the Salarian females do stay on their home world. But I do find it funny that the Salarian counselor is not female. They do hold all the positions of power among their people. So why would the most powerful Salarian be a male?! That made no sense whatsoever.
