Controversial Crab Spider - male

Controversial Crab Spider - Male
DeSoto, Dallas County, Texas, USA
November 28, 2007
This one appeard to be not long for this world--it is as I found it on my liriope, missing several legs. I have read the remarks about a similar image in the Guide. It does indeed look like the one pictured in the Samford Website where it is identified as Coriarachne lenta, but in spite of seeing that species mentioned elsewhere on the internet, I can't find any other pictures of one and all the theses and dissertations make my head spin! There used to be another one like this on the ID request page, but I don't see it anymore.
