Spider - female

Spider - Female
Gloster, Gloster Arboretum, Amite County, Mississippi, USA
May 13, 2006
Size: body length 4.9 mm.
We are placing this spider in the genus Argyrodes, but if needed, correction is welcome.
Might it be possible to identify it to species? We have been unable to find images of anything similar.

I think I found this same species.
It was hanging out on the edge of a huge Argiope aurantia web, in a bottomland swamp just outside New Orleans. I'll try to get some photos of it to compare with this one. Is this group generally parasitic on the webs of larger spiders?

Moved from Argyrodes.

Nice
images. Here is something similar. The coloration and size should make a species ID simple...
Faiditus or Neospintharus may also be possibilities for genus.

 
Determination?
Hi, Jeff-

It's an old image, but just curious if this didn't pan out? Did you look at the Exline & Levi paper? Or simply not possible from the images?
