Yes, the female version for retiarius would be retiaria. With hoplomachus I'm not too sure if it would be hoplomacha since hoplomachus is derived from a Greek word so I don't know how much it would be considered as a regular word with regular forming of female forms etc.
We have had the discussion with murmillo and thraex which both would stay the same even in a female version. I a Latin text you could identify the gender if the noun would be in such a case together with an adjective.
