If we wanted to cast a male-actress I guess we would have explicitly stated that in the casting call. So in short, No male-actresses are not invited to submit for casting.

I know what other poster was referring to, however, in this day in age, in my opinion, everything has to be stated "explicitly", just to make sure that we should not find ourselves in an awkward situation when the auditionee turns up at auditions!

I hope you find your actress, anyway...a female one, of course.
