Thanks, J & J, for taking car
Thanks, J & J, for taking care of moving this. (I'm voting for X. elegans and D. Shorthouse thought the same, but whether that is enough for a "firm" ID, I can't say.)

We're comfortable moving it there
based on your identification work. It can always be moved if you or another expert get a new idea. There are just too many Xysticus for us! What do you think of Lee's new image at ?
