Moved from Hubbardiidae.

Moved from Short-tailed Whipscorpions.

An arachnid, not an insect--and a very nice find!

 
Question
Can this be keyed to Hubbardia based on the mesopeltidia?

 
Not by me :)
I don't feel I have the expertise to make that call. But if you're confident of the ID, it's your image and you're free to move it.

 
Me neither!
I made an inquiry to Dr. Hedin and he identified it as a male Hubbardia belkini.

 
Great!
Excellent addition to the Guide. :)

 
Awesome!
Thanks! I mistook the front legs for antennae haha.
