Moved
Moved from Cellar Spiders. As far as I know, the only cellar spider that has the pointed abdomen and the trapezoidal-like shape in side view is Crossopriza lyoni. Moving there. I did email GB Edwards to confrim that it is the only one, though, so if it's not, I'll move this back (but I'm 99% sure it is).

 
pointed abdomen
Great info!

 
..
I was checking out Pholcidae quite a bit a couple weeks ago because of a neat one Eric Eaton found and ended up learning about this one as sort of a side project. I couldn't find anything else that had that feature, hopefully it's right because that will make it really easy to spot this species! I emailed GB because he did a paper on them a while back, so I asked him if he could confirm if it's the only species with the pointed abdomen. Hope to hear back from him today.
