Alcimosphenus
New genus for the guide. It goes under Tetragnathidae... see the nice eyelash trichobothria on the hind femur. They're abundant in the Caribbean islands, but I don't believe they're previously known in Florida.

 
Awesome find ...
and ID! I remember being stumped by this one. Was it shared yet with anyone who might keep track of introduced species in FL (maybe G.B. Edwards)?

 
I'll let him know
I'm looking into this and I'll let him know.

 
Thank you
so much for the identification and information. It really is a beautiful spider and it's interesting to know that it may be a new species to Florida.
